escott were the only ones! Nothing would have tempted my little damsel into such a position, I knew; but now she was in for it; to be handed in to dinner by the Autocrat himself, while Lowell took Mrs. Stowe! Miss Terry was at Saratoga and Mrs. Julia Howe suddenly detained; so these were alone. But how to get them downstairs — send up a servant or go ourselves?--that is, were they in a bedroom or a parlor; an obsequious attendant suddenly suggested the latter, so Lowell and I went up. In a so Mr. Fields was written in January, 1862: dear friend: I send the Letter to a young Contributor, which will cover nine or ten pages. I am sorry to say that this household unites in the opinion that February is a decidedly poor number. Mrs. Howe is tedious. To-day grim and disagreeable, though not without power; Love and skates [Theodore Winthrop] trashy and second-rate; and Bayard Taylor below plummet-sounding of decent criticism. His mediocre piece had a certain simplicity and earn

, roast lamb and pigeon, with green peas, potatoes au maitre d'hotel, spinach and salad. Then came a delicious pudding and blancmange, then strawberries, pineapple, and ice-cream, then coffee, etc. We had a pleasant time upon the whole. That is, they had; for myself it is easy to find companions more congenial than the Club. Still, I like them very well. I had last week a little meeting of the mutual correction club, which was far pleasanter to me. This society is organized as follows: Julia Howe, grand universal philosopher; Jane Belknap, charitable censor; Mary Ward, moderator; Sarah Hale, optimist. I had them all to dinner and we were jolly, I do assure you. My children looked so lovely yesterday, in muslin dresses of bright pink plaid, made very full and reaching only to the knee, with pink ribbands in their sleeves.... How I do wish for you this summer. My little place is so green, my flowers so sweet, my strawberries so delicious — the garden produces six quarts or more

, 1855. My sweet meatest, . . First of all you wish to know about the Bonnet, of course. I am happy to say that it is entirely successful, cheap, handsome, and becoming. Boston can show nothing like it. As to the green and lilac, I all but sleep in it. I never wear it, glory on my soul, without attracting notice. Those who don't know me, at lectures and sich, seem to say: Good heavens, who is that lovely creature? Those who do know me seem to be whispering to each other, I never saw Julia Howe look so well! So much for the green bonnet. As for the white one, since I took out the pinch behind, it fits and flatters — to the Opera, I will incontinently wear it. I have been there and still would go. Every woman seen in front, seems to have a cap with a great frill, like that of an old-fashioned night-cap; it is only when she turns sideways that you can see the little hat behind. . . Did I write you that I have been to the Assembly? Chev went to the first without me, with his

ught in the field and of those who languished in the prison. Returning from a review of troops near Washington, her carriage was surrounded and delayed by the marching regiments: she and her companions sang, to beguile the tedium of the way, the war songs which every one was singing in those days; among them-- John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave. His soul is marching on! The soldiers liked this, cried, Good for you! and took up the chorus with its rhythmic swing. Mrs. Howe, said Mr. Clarke, why do you not write some good words for that stirring tune? I have often wished to do so! she replied. Waking in the gray of the next morning, as she lay waiting for the dawn, the word came to her. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord She lay perfectly still. Line by line, stanza by stanza, the words came sweeping on with the rhythm of marching feet, pauseless, resistless. She saw the long lines swinging into place before her eyes, hea

Dr. Howe had a great fancy for a piece of property whis voice. In like manner, at an earlier date, Dr. Howe and Charles Sumner joined a singing class, buwhich at a later day he became president, and Dr. Howe. These gentlemen were indeed bound together uccesses, and Summer on one occasion wrote to Dr. Howe, apropos of some new poem of Mr. Longfellow'sar 1845, attracted a good deal of attention. Dr. Howe had become much dissatisfied with the managemion concerning the progress of the contest. Dr. Howe in reply referred her to her own son for the out such things. I was in Washington with Dr. Howe early in the spring of 1856. I remember beination was presented by them on their return. Dr. Howe was greatly interested for the Dominicans, whe son, then some five or six years of age. In Dr. Howe's daily absences I tried to keep our guest co[13 more...]
Jula Ward Howe, Reminiscences: 1819-1899, Chapter 9: second visit to Europe (search)
ars residence in and near Boston, during which I labored at study and literary composition, I enjoyed an interval of rest and recreation in Europe. With me went Dr. Howe and our two youngest children, one of them an infant in arms. We passed some weeks in London, and went thence to renew our acquaintance with the Nightingale famtted to a tete-à--tete of which one would be glad to know something. It was during this visit that I learned the sad news of Margaret's shipwreck and death. Dr. Howe, with all his energy of body and of mind, was somewhat of a valetudinarian. The traces of a severe malarial fever, contracted by him in the Greek campaign of hi place approached with his lantern, to ascertain the contents of the diligence. Looking into the rotonde, he remarked, Baby baggage, and inquired no further. Dr. Howe had charged me to provide myself with a watch when I should pass through Geneva, and had given me the address of a friend who, he said, would advise me where bes
