Ella F. Simons, "A Young Ladies school newspaper written for subscribers"
Scope and Contents
Ella F. Simons, "A Young Ladies school newspaper written for subscribers"(1859; 0.03 cubic feet) Contains eleven pages of hand written material. Begins with an "edatoreal" about the state of the nation and the mission of the paper, followed by articles with titles such as "Night," "The Poet," "Dear Emily," "A Ride," "Our Wreath," "Composition," "Sniff," and more. All articles are written in the same hand and with the same unique writing voice, leaving one to ponder if she was a scribe or perhaps the individuals' names attributed to each writing were fictitious. A lace paper cover with embossed cut-outs serves as the wrapper. Windsor, CT.
