Description
Holograph, signed
Evelina A. S. Smith is indebted to Caroline Weston for sending pamphlets and a letter in which there is a "hearty invitation to share your 'couch, and bread & butter,' during the anniversaries." Evelina A. S. Smith comments on the women's convention in New York. Evelina A. S. Smith is impressed by Harriet Martineau's book and remarks on the tirades of newspaper editors against it, in revenge for Martineau's criticism of the American Press. Evelina A. S. Smith exclaims: "Is it not shameful, abominable." She discusses the book at length, remarking on Miss Martineau's "grave charge of intemperance among American ladies," which Evelina A. S. Smith considers as having little foundation. Harriet Martineau "gives the Abolitionists high praise." [Society in America, by Harriet Martineau, appeared in 1837.] Evelina A. S. Smith recently rode to Weymouth and found it a delightful place, "much superior to Hingham in natural loveliness." Evelina A. S. Smith hopes Caroline Weston will visit her. Evelina A. S. Smith is reading Francis Wayland's Elements of Moral Science, and comments that "he expresses his peculiar theological views to distinctly, it appears to me, for a scientific manual, to be used in schools and colleges." [Elements of Moral Science, by Francis Wayland, appeared in 1835.]
