Series-level Scope and Content Note

From the Series:

Please note that correspondents often mention acquaintances or other individuals but will not provide their complete names. When known, the full name is given in parentheses. Also, in the case of the Clarke family, one A.K. Clark signs her name without the 'e' although it is likely that she is a member of the Clarke family. She also cites (her husband?) inconsistently as 'Mr. Clark' or 'Mr. Clarke.' Descriptions for each letter will use the spelling that the correspondent has used.

Container Summary

ALS (dated 6/12/1855) to Franklin B. Sanborn from Helen Wall. Reference to Sanborn's school in Concord and to his proximity to Ralph Waldo Emerson: "...I trust your school is going on prosperously and that you find it pleasant as at first the afternoon walks with the wise Emerson must repay you for all the toils of the day, tho' the keeping pace with your class must added to your other duties invoke much fatigue..."
