1864–1871 Letters from the Young Ladies of the Prominent Rhode Island Hazard Family

1871List3241Rhode Island Massachusetts and New York 1871. Thirty-two letters two apparently missing final pages; with fifteen pages of incomplete letter material. Excellent to Near Fine. Letters from some of the young ladies of the Hazard family primarily Gertrude Minturn 1843â€“1877 Anna Peace 1845â€“1868 and Esther Robinson 1848â€“d. Hazard with some from other family and friends. The family was descended from Thomas Hazard one of the founding settlers of Newport Rhode Island.1 The girls were educated and often write from school; Anna and Esther attend the â€˜Friends Schoolâ€™ in Providence which is probably the Moses Brown School and Gertrude attends Dr. Dio Lewisâ€™s School for Young Ladies in Lexington Massachusetts. Founded by Diocletian Lewis a temperance and physical culture advocate the school incorporated his exercise system developed to condition weaker individuals. Gertrude describes a regimen of thirty minutes of walking plus an hour and a half of exercise and discusses Dr. Lewis: â€œDr Lewis gives familiar lectures on any subject which the scholars propose. He is a very pleasant genial man and takes part in the games & dancing with the greatest spirit. There are about 20 scholars. Some of them board in the village but are subject to the rules of the school. This building is very large and is mostly occupied by the patients of Dr Lewisâ€™ â€˜Movement Curesâ€™ to whom most of his time is devoted. The scholars and patients associate together. Indeed we are under very little constraint the teachers leaving our actions to be regulated by our own sense of propriety; and they seldom find occasion to reprove the scholars for misdemeanors.â€ November 23 1864 Meanwhile Anna and Estherâ€™s education is more on the religious side; Esther writes: â€œWe have not been to meeting very often since we returned from our lovely visit to Newport but the first Sunday morning I did think all the time of it as I said I was going to. We were edified this morning by a sermon from Elizabeth Meader or rather a torrent of noise so that I am nearly deafened now. I donâ€™t think I ever heard a more horrible combination of sounds from the mouth of any human being.â€ January 8 1865 Though speaking in tongues is most strongly associated with Pentecostalism it is not unheard of in Quakerism. In his book of genealogy and reflections the girlsâ€™ father Thomas Hazard 1797â€“1886 connects the familyâ€™s â€œstrong religious tendenciesâ€ to his own interest in spiritualism.2 This interest in mediumship comes up several times in the letters first in 1864 when one of the girls reports that â€œPa writes us that at a circle which he attended a few days ago a clairvoyant medium described our house at Vaucluse perfectlyâ€ February 24 1864 and later when one of the girls attends a circle with their father in Philadelphia: â€œYesterday morning Pa & I had a sitting with a Mrs. Robinson a trance speaking medium. The communication from mother was the most beautiful I ever heard. She spoke to us just as she used to on earth using the same expressions. It seemed as if I could almost see her â€“ we are going again on Monday.â€ February 8 1867 That is the pair spoke to Frances Minturn Hazard who had died in 1854. Of interest to researchers of the Hazard family and Rhode Island Quakers. 1 Caroline Elizabeth Robinson The Hazard Family of Rhode Island 1635â€“1894 Printed for the Author 1896. 2 Thomas R.
