WCP1270

To:

Date:
7 July 1845
Source of text:
Natural History Museum, London: NHM WP1/3/93/5
Summary:

Now established as teacher, has almost 30 girl pupils; accepted in local society. People try to match me with local gentlemen; don’t want a beau, focused on career. Established a school without capital, “could not be done in England”; works 10-hour days. Desires to reunite and re-locate family in Georgia, urges ARW (“I long for him every day”) and brother Jim to join her. They could set up successful Engineering and Surveying Company, then buy land, marry well, and become gentlemen farmers; in their letters they show no interest. English people don’t understand that each state has own customs, manners, and laws “as separate as the different countries of Europe.” Climate healthy, abundant watermelons, peaches, apples, pears, corn. Includes note to ARW and Jim that promising possibilities exist also in Texas.

WCP1271

From:
Frances ("Fanny") Sims (née Wallace)
To:
Wallace, Alfred Russel & Wallace, John
Date:
21 July 1845
Source of text:
Natural History Museum, London: NHM WP1/3/93/6
Summary:

Discusses life choices and circumstances. Ponders going to Texas, but is pleased with current situation. Detailed descriptions of the countryside, fresh produce, social life. In separate note to ARW and Jim (Repeat of WCP 170) begs them to consider emigrating to Georgia, where they would surely prosper. Describes light-skinned “yellow” Negro couple who had a very light-skinned infant with “blue eyes and flaxen hair.” Both blacks and whites grieved when the “beautiful child” sickened and died; but “it would have been sad to see a white boy [be raised as] a slave.”
