Amherst College Tuesday eve Feb 1843 Dear sister Lucy, Here I am (8 o’clock) with my table before the fire, seated in an armchair, an “old arm chair” that has been in college long enough to tell a great many college stories if it had the gift of speech. And suppose I should just describe to you the table I am writing upon – well then it is a common pine table oblong in shape three feet one way & two feet (wanting three inches) the other. on the side of the table from the fire is the first vol. of Scott’s Commentary – at one end of that is a copy of the Village Hymns & at the other end another small book (Beauties of Jude Story). Before the Bible is a tumbler containing shot, buttons, pencils, pens, scissors, knife, letter folder sealing wax, & court--? plaster; also (on each side of the tumbler) a sand box & a sort of wooden cup containing seals, wafers, wax & four cents; also (before the tumbler) my inkstand & pen wiper. before the whole my lamps & pen wiper – at one end (east) of the table I am sitting with my paper upon the portfolio made by your hands. side of the portfolio is the little book with with the pasteboard cover, which (by the way) is now pretty much filled. So now, I think you must have a pretty deffinite idea of my table. I am alone, & tis very still, only the fire is singing a curious song – the fire – not a great fire in a great big place like the one you are sitting before, but a little fire (two sticks & a brand) in a little fire frame two feet & two inches high – fire enough to keep warm such a night as this; & it page 2 is really quite a comfortable looking place. I don’t believe there is another room in college that would look so pleasant at least to me, as this. Just now B Sanford who sent his love to you is here though I don’t stop writing & would like quite as well to see you & by the way if you should soon I could treat you for I just bought 2 cts worth of molasses candy of a great negro. but you are getting tired with this. Let me tell you that I belong to a singing school. We got a first rate teacher, whom we pay a dollar a peice, a first rate class & c. We meet twice a week (an hour each time) for the rest of this term & a part of next. I’m going to see if I can’t make out that mother was mistaken when she said I couldn’t make a singer. I sing sometimes down to Mrs. Cooley’s & I think I improve a little, but very slowly. And yet I think I can sing a great deal better than I could a year ago; or rather perhaps I don’t sing so bad now as I did then. Were any of the Millerites in your neighborhood expecting the world would beging to burn the 15th of this month. About not quite (perhaps) all of those about Amherst did. there are a very few if any Millerites in Amherst, but in a number of the neighboring there are a great many (or at least have been until the 15th I don’t know how it is now); In some places it has absorbed all thought & business. In some places expecting to be caught up into the air on the 15, they had made their white robes! actually & litteraly made their white robes ready for ascention & the day before the great day many of them went from their own towns to a town not far from here that they page 3 might be together. In Shrewsbury (one of our scholars, who has been teaching there, says) they watched the grave yards. One man from Hadley who had a number of children in Amherst went through here to collect them. what they say or think now I don’t know. The learned blacksmith from Worcester, whom you have often heard of as having acquired something like fifty different languages & that too cheifly while engaged at his trade, lectured here last week & was very interesting (his knowledge of history is really surprising – He is a smar[t loo]king man & his hands don’t look as if they’ve handled the iron much lately, indeed he has not. he has been engaged lately in literary labors lately, translating from the German & other languages for the papers, delivering lectures before lyceums & c. I should think from your letter you must have fine times at home reading & c. Indeed I really think you are about the happiest folks in the world. I have written two compositions this term. One of them called the “Signs of the times” & the other was on “Personal Influence” which last Stockbridge says is about as good as he has heard from me although he allows that isn’t saying much- I suppose you know that tomorrow, when you will get this letter, is fast day. We shall have none but religious exercises & I hope it will be an interesting day. Indeed it ought to be when we know so many are praying for us. We shall have a prayer meeting in the forenoon which no one will be obliged to attend, in the afternoon an exercise (preaching) which all will be required to attend as on the Sabbath. page 4 I expect you have made a mistake in the length of this term. it is fifteen weeks I think as you will see by looking on the catalogue so that the term is about eight weeks longer. I want to know whether or not my History of England is at home. and also to know where my French Dictionary is is. Aunt Lucy did have it. We study French here next term. I suppose you have first rate sleighing as it is here. and to day or this morning is a most beautiful one. I must send love enought to last three weeks I hope Mothers eyes have become good enough to read this. So good bye sweet sister & good by all.

Title A name given to the resource Mount Pleasant Classical Institute in Amherst Subject The topic of the resource Schools Education Amherst (Mass.) Description An account of the resource This institution offered boys a classical education and was a well-known school throughout the Connecticut Valley and beyond in the 1830s.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource John L. Lovell Collection Description An account of the resource John L. Lovell (1825-1903) was a professional photographer. He came to Amherst in 1856 and established the Amherst Picture Gallery, the first photographic studio in Western Massachusetts. In addition to studio work, Lovell was interested in scientific photography, accompanying an Amherst College astronomical team to California in 1882, as well as photographing Connecticut Valley geological features. His photos provide the best visual documentation from the 1860s to the 1890s of the successive transitions Amherst made from an agricultural town, to an industrial one, and finally, to a town known chiefly for its educational institutions. Moreover, Lovell’s images provide the best visual available documentation of Emily Dickinson’s community. Early images of the Dickinson houses, the streets, shops, and businesses the family knew intimately – all are found within this very important collection. John L. Lovell Collection (ca. 1860s – ca. 1890s) can be seen in its entirety at the Jones Library. It includes negatives; 59 stereopticon views of Amherst; 40 cartes de visite; and 1200 prints. The collection includes the first surviving photos of Amherst. Subjects include Amherst and the Connecticut Valley, especially architecture, businesses, construction, etc. Biographical reviews in local newspapers of the day; advertisements for his business and other materials accompany the photographs. The cartes de visite are significant because of extensive collateral material in the manuscript collection. Still Image A static visual representation.
