Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Letters and Journals of Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Chapter 1: Cambridge and Newburyport (search)
should be so hardened by time, but I have kept it six weeks, and do not feel so guilty as when I first pocketed it. Perhaps the same influence may have softened your surprise at such gipsy habits, and you may accept my thanks as some equivalent. Very respectfully yours. In 1850 Mr. Higginson wrote from Artichoke Mills to his mother: Don't let me forget to say that at South Hingham . . I did see one of the Betseys, and not only see but stay with, and not only a Betsey but a Betsey Cushing -but only a Mrs. B. C. I will candidly confess, not the renowned Missis. No, ma'am, said I, as I warmed my feet in a leisurely way at the air-tight. I have never been in Hingham, but my mother lived here for a time. Why, mercy's sake, who was your mother? was the reply. Louisa Storrow, ma'am, said her son with dignity. Wha-a-t exclaimed the excellent lady promptly, pausing halfway out of the closet with a sugar-bowl in her hand. Why, be you Louisa Storer's son? Undoubtedly, ma'am

went to Europe at the time of John Brown. The wicked flea, whom no man pursueth, Judge Russell satirically termed him: but he is a very cultivated and refined person and had that career among English literati which seems to be cheaply open to all young Yankees. A letter without date describes Colonel Higginson's first meeting with Anne Whitney, the poet and sculptor: Here I am in a farmhouse in the loveliest, greenest region of Watertown, on a by-road, next house but one above Mr. Cushing's and next to Miss Anne Whitney's. . . . After my nap this afternoon, as I was beginning to write to you . . . up came a message that Miss A. W. was below, so down I went. White dress and cape bonnet; face between Elizabeth Whittier and Susan Higginson: looking older than I expected. Her brother was with her, which made it less remarkable for her to call on me. She and I agreed on a walk, which we later took-a lovely walk through green lanes fringed with barberries to a beautiful great

only that the schooner turned out a barque, partially dismantled. The brig came to anchor before dark, and as her stern swung round we read with the glass the familiar name of Newburyport, the vessel being the venerable Keying, one of old Captain Cushing's great brigs. ... In Captain Cook, who came ashore the next day, I recognized a familiar face, and I could safely congratulate my former townsman for his success in weathering the storm with only the loss of a bowsprit and topmast and somergis, that arbiter of fashion, says plumpers are very common in Philadelphia and she does n't doubt Mrs. H. wears them. Nature has plumped the cheerful B. S., but there is no telling what other beautifying appliances may not be purchased with Mrs. Cushing's bequest. Princeton, July, 1862 Here we are at this most placid of places, just now stirred to its Sunday excitement, the greatest it ever knows. Country wagons with people in their best bonnets go quietly by, or stop to call at our do
