She lived methodically, as she usually did; almost always rose at five,--it was in summer,--and sometimes at half-past 4; it took her till six to dress; she studied till half-past 7, the breakfast hour; school lasted from half-past 8 to half-past 12; she got home at one, dined at half-past 1; lay down till three; then wrote or studied till tea-time, probably at six; in the evening, walked or made calls till ten; this was her day. Fuller Mss. i. 619. Her task as to mere instruction was not difficult, and her letters everywhere show her to have had that natural love of children so essential to the teacher. She never leaves a house but some gay message, sent back to the youngest members, shows unerringly that they, at least, cannot have complained of her as haughty or supercilious.

Margaret Fuller was ill for a time after reaching Providence, and wrote to Mr. Emerson in June, 1837: Concord, dear Concord, haven of repose, where headache, vertigo, other sins that flesh is heir to, cannot long continue. After this came a period of unusual health, during which she wrote in great exhilaration to her friends. To Miss Peabody, for instance (July 8, 1837), she exulted in the glow of returning health, and then gave this account of the school:-- As to the school, . .. I believe I do very well there. I am in it four hours every morning, five days in the week; thus you see I can have much time, notwithstanding many casual interruptions. All Saturday and Sunday to myself.
