Diaries and Album, 1827-1826
Scope and Contents
Two diaries and an album are chronologically arranged. The album was kept by Emilie at the age of sixteen during her teaching at the Clinton Female Seminary in Clinton, New York. The diary (1831-33), available in photocopy, discusses her spiritual struggles prior to her marriage in 1834. (See Series 2 for the transcript of a later diary.) The Bangkok diary for 1840-42 contains information to be transmitted to her daughters in case of her death and an account of the death of her three-month-old daughter, Harriet.
