592026 June 1925; La Chaumiere Shillong Assam. 4to: 3 pp. Text clear and entire on creased chipped airmail paper. A chatty vivacious and entertaining letter casting light on the state of mind of an English colonial wife. Thanks her for her 'kind remarks about my stories. May I say in return that I also like your story very much and it appears to have what all the Editors are clamouring for all the time - a happy ending!' Congratulates O'Duffy on her marriage 'You say they told you that you were mad to get married and without a certain amount of madness I do not see how any of us would ever take that awful step!' But you were not half as mad as people who marry for money or position or a shooting in Scotland or a motor car or a diamond tiara'. The Blacks 'live as a rule in Rangoon Burma a very hot place indeed where beads of honest sweat decorate every brow all the time.' Finds 'the opportunity of giving a description of herself a rare and glorious one!' Gives a physical description she has 'the slightly wilted appearance of all women who have to live in the Tropics for any length of time' and describes her career as a journalist before marriage. 'I used to look down from the tops of busses into motor cars where the Really Wealthy sat and think how nice life must be from the back seat of a Rolls. And when last I was in England I sat in the back seat of a Sunbeam and looked up onto the top of the passing busses and thought what fun life could be on 2d all the way. If you are still fairly poor remember that. I am not sure one does not get a great deal more pleasure on 2/6d saved up than on trips to Paris when expense is no object. I have tried both and this is my candid opinion.' Explains how 'the only story I ever more or less lived is Marcia's'. 'For last summer I had been working very hard and one day I put a suit case into the back of my two seater Standard and threw my children to the Nurse and went off into the blue.' She has no photograph to send 'I have as I already said one of those Noses.' but says that there is a photograph of her in the June number of the Ladies' Home Journal. As for her age her seven-year-old son says she is twenty-one 'or at the very most . she may be twenty-two'. 'Shall we leave it at that It is so much kinder.' Wishes she could visit O'Duffy at Daffodil Cottage. 'Here we are perched so to speak upon the kettle lid of the world.' Mentions earthquake jungle jackals. 'And it rains rains rains and the newspapers say "The Monsoon is progressing satisfactorily in Assam."' Short autograph postscript. 26 June 1925; La Chaumiere, Shillong, Assam. unknown

1820165851820. Tuckerman H. P. Poetry and prayer journal 1820-1830 documents early nineteenth-century manuscript album culture within Anglo-American Protestant communities with particular attention to women's devotional writing moral instruction and shared literary practices. The volume supports research into gendered authorship religious education and the circulation of poetic and didactic texts in the early republic where handwritten albums functioned as spaces for communal inscription. The presence of multiple hands across dated entries demonstrates a participatory literary culture structured around kinship and social networks while recurring themes of childhood piety mortality and moral virtue situate the text within contemporary evangelical and didactic traditions.<br /> Tuckerman H. P. Poetry and prayer journal. Circa 1820-1830. Manuscript volume with 53 handwritten entries by multiple contributors including poems hymns and devotional reflections. Entries include a hymn composed for the British and Foreign School Society emphasizing education and moral uplift through the metaphor "Oh stream of knowledge when thy tides.Forget not then the flowers" alongside gendered moral instruction concluding "woman's Happiest destiny Is only - to be good." Biblical passages including references to Luke 2 appear throughout accompanied by original prayers such as an 1827 entry: "Heaven sees no sight so fair As happy childhood bowed in prayer." Several texts address mortality and impermanence including reflections such as "Life is but a scanty ledge.suspended o'er a fathomless abyss" and a memorial poem introduced as written by a young man shortly before death from consumption invoking Romantic-era associations with illness and artistic sensibility. Additional entries focus on natural landscapes including "Spring Mountain" 1828 which situates spiritual reflection within pastoral imagery. The volume includes an original drawing of a mother and child signed "S. Tuckerman" as well as two pencil drawings of forest scenes reinforcing the integration of visual and literary expression within album practices.<br /> This manuscript emerges from a period in which evangelical Protestantism moral education movements and literary cultivation intersected within domestic and semi-public spheres particularly among women and youth. The reference to the British and Foreign School Society situates the volume within transatlantic educational reform efforts emphasizing literacy and moral discipline. The collaborative nature of the entries aligns with early nineteenth-century album traditions where social exchange and authorship were intertwined. Such materials provide insight into how religious belief gender norms and literary expression were internalized and reproduced within everyday practice. Original red half morocco binding with owner's name "H. P. Tuckerman" in gilt on front cover; approximately 120 pages with writing on 76 pages; includes three original drawings; measures 9 x 7 1/2 inches. Light toning and minimal foxing throughout; very good condition. A substantive example of early American manuscript culture linking devotional life gendered authorship and communal literary exchange. unknown
