Same Evening 24th
It is now nearly midnight - I've been sitting
up alone for an hour or two writing and
holding silent communion with a picture,
the shadowy face of Annie. Strange how
much of companionship I found in those
eyes to night and how much of inspiration
my spirit has caught from hers just now.
Since I had undressed I went as usual to
take one lingering look out upon the night.
"Gloriously beautiful! What a picture!" was
the first exclamation that comes from my
lips and I felt that such a picture of
silent beauty were worth living [but?] to look
upon. I'm happier now than I was two hours
ago. Wonder what is the reason. My pen, like
David's harp, has exorcised the blues, and I
feel that I shall ever be happier for this
silent vigil, and that I've seen the
glorious night scene. I could [illegible] till it
melts away into the glory of day but this
poor physique must have rest and sleep,
else it will be but a dog at best, so I will
take another look and then yield to the
demands of nature.

[...] under the life giving influence of the summer
sun. Failing, totally failing in this my dearest
aspiration, my soul ["if" crossed out, "is" written above] ever filled with sorrow
and sadness, for the loss to myself and family.
Have been glancing over the foregoing pages,
and fear it is unprofitable work for me to trace on
paper, even these first shadows of the dark thoughts
of my own mind. But still I feel a sort of pleasure
if so strange a feeling may be called a pleasure, in
thus holding silent communion with myself. Yet
perhaps it were better if I never touched the pen, and
one minute I wish I did not love to, the next a
stronger, wild and vehement wish, gushes up from
my inmost soul, that I had time and leisure
to use it at my will. Have been talking with
Mrs Knight to day. It matter little what the theme,
she and I are always on the opposite side.
Wish I could annihilate space to night, and leaving
this body behind to prepare its duties unaided by
the intellect, while the spirit lingered by the side
of distant loved ones, But though the heart travels
away to there, it comes back unsatisfied. Will it
[underlined: "ever be satisfied below,"] ever raise the exultant
Eureka! over the full fruition of all its aspirations?
Never, no never, for this is not the lot of mortals.

"Some things we want" by Celestia R. Colby

In this undated and unfinished manuscript essay, Celestia R. Colby begins to explain what rights she and other 19th century women seek in American society.
Transcript:
Written For The Mayflower
Some Things We Want
By Mrs Celestia R. Colby
Said a gentleman to me the other day, "I wish you
would write an article for the "Ladies Volunteer," (an
unpretending little paper which is sometimes "got up" by
the ladies of "our society" for our own private benefit,)
"and tell us plainly and clearly just what you want"
and he added with bitter sarcasm, "it would be something
that I never knew a writer or lecturer upon woman's
rights, to do yet!"
Of course ["I" underlined] have not the vanity to
suppose that ["I" underlined] can accomplish what so many more
learned and more gifted, have failed to do; viz. make that
man understand what the advocates of woman's rights
demand, for it is one thing to explain, and quite another
to give the understanding: and we have the faintest possible
suspicion that his case is hopeless, on the ground of the man
"convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still.
Neither shall I attempt to show ["all" underlined] that we
ask but just jot down a few items, as the moments
snatched from labor or slumber will permit.
And here let me say that we do not merely ask a
change of legislation in our favor, knowing well that were
the ^all laws that oppress woman struck from the statute
books to day, that a tyrant ten-fold stronger, exists in
the ["customs" underlined] that bind men and ["women too willing" underlined]
victims in their fetters of adamant and like an iron
shroud cramps and crushes every ["every" crossed out] effort, every struggle
of those who would be truly free.

Celestia R. Colby essay on J. Rose Colby, circa 1860-1870
Description
An account of the resource
Short essay by Celestia Colby in which she recounts an incident in the life of her young daughter J. Rose Colby. The poem they reference is <i>Locksley Hall</i> by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
Transcript:
Little Rose was busily engaged
to night watching the stars
as they came out through the
gathering gloom of the dusky twilight.
There was old Orion wheeling slowly,
majestically up the eastern
sky with its attendant clusters,
the seven sisters of the spring, or
the Pleiades, and when she saw them
for the first time since they began
once more to visit us in the
early evening, a fragment of a
sweet old rhyme was running
wild in her brain, which for
an instant she could neither
catch nor tame to wear its harness
of words and do her bidding, neither
could she recall the name of
the fairy like group of stars which
met her eye with the familiar
look of an old-time friend. As
usual she came to mama in
her perplexity, and her query was
"what is the name of those stars that are
like a swarm [of] silver fire-flies stitched together
in a braid." I could but smile
at her [illegible] rendering of
the poets rhyme, which in her
mind will ever be wedded with
pure cold radiance of the Pleiades.
"I saw the Pleiades rising
through the mellow shade,
glitter like a swarm of fire-flies
tangled in a silver braid."
