A propos de cet article

A diary of a young woman from Georgetown, MA, named Charlotte Osgood. Her family were prominent in local society. Covering four years, the journal starts with almost daily entries. As the years progress, the entries diminish in frequency, but are always picked up again during some of the exciting times in Charlotte's life. For example her trip to Provincetown in August of 1886. Charlotte also toured at Perkins School for the Blind and met Laura Bridgmen (the first American blind and deaf individual to be educated). The rest of her entries generally start with a note on the current weather, and detail her activities for the day. Such as who visited who, and where she went. Her daily activities consisted of a variety of meetings, such as church meetings, choir meetings, and missionary meetings. Charlotte loved music and often went to concerts and plays. Some of the quotes do revolve around the theme of government, perhaps an influence of her father. Towards the end of the journal, Charlotte has recorded a variety of her favorite songs, poems, and quotes, as well as a few recipes (for Lemon Sherbet and pop over. Below are a few excerpts from the journal. "Started south for Boston, about ten I saw Lanceirs and Major Perkins. Had a splendid time at the Blind School. Saw Mr. Anofer and Laura Bridgeman, left around 12:30. Dined at Marstou on drek [?} and banana fitters Went to the Museum and saw Devin Bouciciult in "the Lift", enjoyed it very much." - February 22, 1886 "In the afternoon, we went to Long Point and had beautiful time, took off my shoes and stockings, water awful cold. Singing in evening." - August 23, 1886, Provincetown Trip "When things go right, things come right for them" - Quote from The Squire of Sandal-Side by Amelia Edith Huddleston Barr "Judgment is a factor of government, so long as gov. continues, judgment goes and is going on all the time." "Good night, love; good night love, May heaven's brightest stars watch over thee, Good Angels spread their wings and cover thee, And thro' the night, so dark and still, Spirits of the light, charm thee from ill!" - Excerpt from "Good Night Dear Love, Good Night" a lullaby by Mrs. F.
