Mary Thacher Higginson, Thomas Wentworth Higginson: the story of his life, III: the boy student (search)
d a lively colored waiter whom he had made friends with at the New York hotel, and added, Slaves and a freeman is the difference, I suppose. While in Virginia, Wentworth received this letter from his mother, with its pathetic reference to her son Thacher's fatal voyage:— Now for news—Thacher sailed yesterday for Rio Janeiro. . . . He took out Books of all kinds, Scientific and literary. Theology, Law, History, Poetry, Philosophy, French, Spanish and English— he expects to be home in July. . . . I hope you will be able to come to some determination during this pilgrimage—what you would like best to do after you leave College. . . . At any rate the next term had better decide the business as it is very important that from the time you graduate you should be able to support yourself independently and be able even to lay up something to carry you through your Profession or to help you along during the first years of your setting out. From the autobiographical notes made i

evolution, and every great Revolution of bygone days in still living progress. I was tired of reading of Leonidas; I wanted to see him. I was tired of reading of Lafayette; I wanted to see him. I saw in Kansas the history of the past, clothed in living flesh before me. In January, 1857, a call was issued for a State Disunion Convention to consider the expediency of a separation between free and slave States, and Mr. Higginson's name led the signatures. This meeting was followed the next July by a call for a National Convention which was signed by Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison, Higginson, and 6400 others. This proposed convention, however, was never held. Some of his reasons for belief in disunion, Mr. Higginson expressed in a letter to Harriet Prescott, January, 1861:— I cannot agree with you and Mr. Seward about the Union, because I think that the Free States without the Slave will instantly command an influence, moral and material, which is denied us now.

esperately pro-slavery invalid; who afterwards met me in Kansas as Captain Walker, with a cavalry company to arrest Redpath and me, and would n't do it for old acquaintance sake— and here he is across the river, face to face with me again! In July, the absent son wrote of the delight with which a box of goodies from the North was received:— I am sitting at my tent door and there is a great moon rising: the tents look like the Pyramids against it. I have a box from mother with eatables—ren here. These are days of the Lord, each a thousand years. It was while at Port Royal doing picket duty that Colonel Higginson passed a rash night in the water which he described in an Atlantic paper and afterwards included in Army Life. In July, the regiment made another expedition up the South Edisto River, being gone thirty-six hours. After the capture of Port Royal, the plantations along the coast were abandoned and the slaves withdrawn into the interior. In order to reach the black <

suppose— but the Massons did not know it and it seemed so strange and weird that an American from afar should go wandering about the old place, for the love of a ballad which perhaps the Keiths of Ravelston do not know. Returning to London in July, he went to a charming garden party . . . . The company was distinguished—Huxley, Spencer, Galton, my friend and reader Mark Pattison from Oxford, Sir Rutherford Alcock, Walter Crane and his wife and others . . . . Huxley . . . was very cordstituted. Both she and the son spoke strongly of the practical character of Browning and said he was always ready to help every one, while Tennyson lived more in the clouds; but they testified to the unbroken friendship between the poets. In July we were back in England, dipping into Wales and exploring the Lake region. From Grasmere Colonel Higginson wrote:— My wife and I drove out to Rydal Mount, Wordsworth's later home, and as we stood looking through the gate a very pleasing man<

In June the invalid was transported to Dublin, and in July made the following note:— July 30. Sent to printers first (new) instalment of narrative. [ Cheerful Yesterdays. ] . . . Collapse. . . .
