Text Any textual data included in the document In Camp at or near Warrenton Va Tues 11 Nov 1862. My dearest Wife, My Birth Day! Thirty-two years old! A mild sunny morning, and I a soldier of the Union far from home, and those dearest to my heart, to which my thoughts turn in love, and for whose protection and future good I have endeavored to contribute my might of will and strength, against the wickedest attempt of villians [sic] to rob them, of the dearest rights and protection. And Can my loved wife mistrust for an instant, that I loved them less because I left home and all, for them? Oh no, Dear Allie, You Can’t mean so. Your letter was received yesterday morn. Again feeling sad and down-hearted, when I can see much to encourage, and make me hope to be again united before a very long time. Received two letters from you, the latest Nov 2d and one a day or two before. Am glad you still go about. (The Capt calls and must stop) But a moment to sign my name. It seems you were still in O but I suppose I may imagine you either at B. or Boston for I had a nice letter from Ellen saying you might possibly go to Boston with J. She expressed an earnest wish that you would, and the letter was full of zeal and affection for the cause and yourself as having a common sympathy, with you, in the absence of near and dear ones away[.] I sometimes wish your own spirit was more resolute and firm, for it would help me so much. I must send you a letter of Abbie’s recd at the same time. I don’t like to speak to you so but it pains me exceedingly to have you so mistrustful of any good from all this [sic] tears and trouble for only a brave spirit can bear up under it, and you must remember you are only one of many who are thus deprived of husband[,] brother and friends. Are their affections less strong. But enough[.] I trust you will yet feel resigned. Politicians may plan and scheme, and Generals make mistakes, but the Right is deserving of a trial and I am willing to leave all for a time at least. Contrary to our expectations, we have been permitted to rest from our labors for a few days, and passed sabbath in Camp and had services for the first time for four weeks—a precious time. Read, wrote a letter to Abbie, attended service in the P.M. Sermon on the right keeping of the Sabbath, &c Monday, yesterday, washed a little. you asked me something [about] washing I believe. I make just as little work as possible, but get along nicely and make out to keep quite clean, for we have plenty of soap and with a little more time, get our clothes clean[.] we are always near water, and I contrive to do a little at a time. I have little news to write. I am still well, and contented. am moving with a large body of troops and more Came in this morning. have just passed my tent. Call for Rations. will finish sometime today - - - 1 oclk P.M. Have just finished dinner, of Condensed vegetables, or hand pressed in cakes, & make a very good meal after boiling which softens them to their original state. The Capt. furnished them as we are unusually short of provisions from some unaccountable delay in the trains. I have managed to keep feed ahead. Have plenty of meat, but Hard bread is the article missing. Have just had a few moments with Alonzo R. He is well, and grows fleshy. will be as large as the rest if he remains here awhile[.] had just written Ellen. I have received the various letters and things you sent, and mentioned before, the bag, money &c. Send the Postage Currency as it is the best money to pass. Send 25. & 50 cts bills if possible. Should like some before long. Some say we shall be paid off before long. the papers say that the Authorities at Washington are doing all they can, to pay[,] clothe and feed the troops so we must be patient. I understand today, that our Col. says, he thinks we shall be at home, within six months thro’ political influence. if so I am afraid it will not be very honorable but taxes and power will go a great ways. Lucy sent me the “Ploughman[.”] I wish you would do the same occasionally for I like it the best of any paper almost altho’ I suppose Frank wants them so no matter. You spoke of sending me the “Atlantic” monthly. It would be a treat indeed, or Harpers Monthly Mag, is quite at good for tent life. I would willingly sacrifice something for a copy of either once in a while. It is getting pretty cool here nights and reminds us of home[.] We often think of the Apples, and vegatables [sic], but taste but little of them. If we ever see winter Quarters, which is exceedingly doubtful, shall hope to see something but until then we cannot depend upon getting anything. Jos H. is well. has gone for provisions. don’t know when I shall see him again. I wrote his folks about him, and he wrote a line and wanted me to mail it. am not sure that I did. Nothing new. If there is nothing mentioned, all right. Where’s Lulu? Has mother got your picture taken again. A kiss for you from Papa. As ever with love to each and all. And as ever Yours Jerome [Marginal notes] [Pages 2-3] I inclose Martha’s letter. Lucy mentioned you kindly—wants you to visit her[.] wish you would. Has much to take her time. don’t think she is forgetful of you. [Page 4] Excuse writing. the wind has shaken my paper some. Have found a pretty box and some little shells[.] I shall try and keep for Lulu.

Mailed a letter in a hurry to [name missing] yesterday at Orleans not Waterloo--don’t know as I mentioned any place. Well we marched 18 miles Thursday, about 4 yesterday in the midst of a snowstorm! Cheerless and cold, tho’ it looked beautiful in the woods. Came to camp early and soon warm fires and Coffee made all right. Am well and growing better, as you would think to see me eat. Made a beef Stew yesterday, & this morn. You see when I get home, shall be able to relieve you occasionally Cooking! I keep very busy[;] can hardly get time to look at a paper or book.

Well, I can tell you no news. the Rebs keep ahead, and I don’t believe we shall [see] much of them, till near Richmond, when I hope the work will be closed up for winter. We hear cannonading every day. They got a few hours the start of us at Orleans and destroyed a bridge ahead so we bore away for W. expect to go to Gordonsville, but can’t tell. You will see the moves of Burnside’s Corps, so there I am. Have seen him twice since we left Philemon. There is about 400,000 troops moving in various ways so something will be done.

Text Any textual data included in the document Wedns Eve, 5 Nov 1862 My dearest Wife, How I wish you could just peep into my tent, for we have just got tea (some of Yours came this morning) and fixed up in quite a cosey [sic] way, in a new Camp, near Rectorsvitown [sic] Va. You will no doubt get letters written at Philemon, one very bri[e]f and denoting haste. Well we are a moving army, and everything is system, and have had no tents since last sabbath. On that day marched 15 miles, Monday about 8, rested Tues. and today started about 8 Oclk A.M. and to this place, some 6 miles[.] arrived about noon, or little past. Weather has been favorable, but changeable cool and hot. the Country is fine, beautiful, but not quite the variety we have in N.E. in the way of Autumn scenery, missing the Evergreen[.] all hard wood, red and yellow, or straw Color, being the Colors. But the living has been “high” since we entered Va. Poultry and honey, in abundance. this is only to be whispered, but the “Secesh” have to be made familiar I fear with the bold side of Yankee char[ac]ter and if you had seen the doings, the moment the Column halted today, in a few moments, pistols were snapping, rail fences, moving across the fields while pork and poultry flowed into the Camp “promisc[u]ously” and the orders are all in the breeze. I mention this because it was so striking a scene, and showing how little we, or some, think of hardships of war. But the news. Your letter of the 29th Orange, came this morn, the tea all safe as aforesaid, and I felt like marching as I knew you were all well. I wish I could see and Comfort my little Lulu. Papa does not wish to be away from his loves, but stern duty bids me to it as you well know, and she must be content with my love and little mementoes from time to time, as I “go marching along.” Jos H. has joined the waggon [sic] train, as teamster, and left us at 5 Oclock A.M. today, and altho’ I have rambled more than a mile to find him, after I reached here Could not find him--probably not got in. He is in the Division Head Quarters, train I believe, and will not be near our Camp always, but near the Generals location, which generally keeps ahead. Shall write his father soon for him. He suffers under the Knapsack, and I dare say will be better off. Of our march and rout[e], I have a confused idea. We are just west of Washington, perhaps a little north, moving towards “Manassas Gap” (not the famous “ “ [Manassas] Junction, but some distance northwest of the latter. I expect there is a move to reopen the R.Road from Alexandria thro’ M. Gap, and “Thoroughfare Gap” &c and so furnish means of getting supplies to the army more promptly, and [sic: a] thing much needed, in order to furnish, the ready means for the Combined movement on Richmond, which I suppose is going forward. McClellan, Siegel & Hentzleman [sic] and our force are all in Concert, and where the Conflict will come cannot tell. Have been within Sound of Artillery ever since we left Waterford, on Sunday, but the Rebs seem to know “what’s up”, and so “Skedaddle” for the firing seems about so far off every day we march. If you see some of Harper’s Weekly maps you may be able to trace out our course, but I am somewhat Confused—have not seen a map of our present move. We live well, and generally are well—bear the marches finely tho’ today was tiresome, to me, but my supper, tea, and pleasant encampment makes me forget, everything but your own dear selves, friends at home and the pleasant side of things, and there is very much that is pleasant[:] A lovely season, the forest in gordeous [sic: gorgeous] colors, mild weather, for the most part, giving a “snap” to the feelings, and a most lovely Country, to “go to walk in.” There are many fine plantations here, wealth on every hand, nice dwellings, stone for the most, some plastered with a sort of yellow, sometimes, fine Cattle, varieties of poultry, but the owners in this section are “Secesh,” no young men, at home, old take, it, easy, lazy looking “proprietors,” with healthy looking blacks, slaves, and pretty keen some of them. In short, sometime, we’ll have a Country when the way is opened for Competition, and Yankee enterprise, and Aristocracy is overturned. But to descend a little, my time is more taken up on marches. we have to do much of our Cooking[,] three days rations being dealt out raw meat, Coffee[,] sugar &c &c &c. making heavy loads in haversacks, and Consequently more work, and altho’ my love for writing increases I shall be compelled to ask some of of [sic] my very dear friends, even, to bear with me very patiently. Martha’s letter I desire to reply to, and will soon, for I think we shall remain here for a few days. Our tent is filled with several inches deep of nice straw, each end closed up for the most part, and expect a warm comfortable time. In a single tent, for a while, only Marcus Howard, of Orange and I together. H.H.M with Nelson Smith, Harrison G. and a couple of others. On the march, the Color Guard Corporals have to keep together all the time so we have slept outdoors for some nights as before mentioned, hence the change in tent arrangements. (The boys have just brought in a whole calf, and are cooling it near our tent, and talking it over) so you may judge how we live in present in “Old Va”. Fri Morn, 7th—Was interrupted the other eve, and marched, early in the morn, to Rectortown, 6 miles. Off again yesterday early, to this place, the name I don’t know, some 18 miles. We are in hot persuit [sic] of Rebs. We are heading for Culp[e]per Court House as near as I can tell. The Blue Ridge is in front of us. Don’t Know when I can write you. All well, and hope we will finish up before long[.] Adieu Jerome Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter / Paper Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Shall I be such an unsocial being when you are again with you [me]? Have just returned from Mr. Gage’s where we had a chatty time about Lowell, old times there, Ben B., and literary matters generally, till half past 10! So much for your absence but you see I “own up.” Have been very busy since I wrote. Tues eve rode out with Foster to his house. Found all very beautiful, and happy and don’t see what more they can ask. Plenty of land, trees, apples and pears, etc., etc. Cannot, of course, describe it all, but it is one of the best locations, and the back parlor windows look out upon the bay where you can see the outer light with shipping etc. and fine land views besides. Had at tea, besides their own family, Mr. Locke, Henry H., Miss Lucy Bowen and Susie Hall, who rode out with us. Had a hearty meal of meat (boiled), beans, potatoes of their own raising, hot biscuit, Indian cake etc. and a cordial social time it was. All seemed pleasant and happy. Many inquiries after you all and will be happy to see yourself and Abbie soon. Rode in quick this morning which does one good. Forgot to mention that we had music etc. in the evening. Busy today, have seen none of the relations. Took tea at Mr. J’s, very pleasant. J. as “gassy” as ever. And this is the way time has passed, save that I think of P.V. [Pleasant Valley] and its inhabitants pretty often! The weather has been charming and I trust you have been benefitted, have you not? I want to hear from you. How did you get along with the company that was expected? Tell me all the items. Have not seen Susie B. yet since I returned, nor our neighbors, the P’s. There is no particular news, will send a paper or two. Called a moment on Albert S. today. All well at C. also at our C. Do you want to come home? But it is late, and I must close. A hundred kisses and the entire love of, Your, Jerome Thurs Morning 26 Just to say “Good morning” to all. The plants are doing nicely again. The ship “San Jacinto” has arrived in N.Y. with young Edmands, sooner than was expected. If you see the E’s [Edmands,] this may be news. Lucy is in Worcester I expect. No news from George. Love to all, Yours J TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE (Josef Rokus) The “Foster” referred to in the letter was Foster Peirce, who was one of Jerome’s older brothers. The 1850 U.S. Census listed him as being born in 1812, living in Charlestown, Massachusetts, and being in the furniture business. It is interesting to note that when that census was taken, Jerome, then 19 years old, was living with the Foster Peirce family, with his occupation being recorded as a “gilder.” Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter/Paper Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Came out here yesterday stopping on the way at Mr. Geo Houghton’s with Henry. Started early, about 2 o’clock with the intention of seeing Foster’s place, but hardly think I shall see it yet. Stopped at Mr. H’s over two hours and had a pleasant time - music on the piano, violin etc. Miss H is a very fine player. Walked the rest of the way - some two and half miles - reaching here at little past five. Found all well, glad to see me and had much to say of you, and Martha says she hardly knew what to say to you but sympathized with us entirely. Read and chatted away the evening as usual - playing with a Maltese kitten some of the time. I find kittens in my path most everywhere’s. Tues. was busy at the store. [In the eve] called at Aunt F’s. Pleasant call. All getting along as usual. Mrs. Fairbanks was there. Mr. Stubbert’s family are gone to Bangor on a visit, two or three weeks I understood. Aunt W. goes to Burlington and perhaps to Bil [Billerica] as I mentioned. Have taken meals at F’s and spent most of the time there as the weather has prevented their moving. Shall manage to keep busy this week - but it is not driving. Shall be up Sat. but can’t say which train. And now how is my Allie? Are you getting strong and cheerful? I keep quite so, but miss you very much of course, but hope you make the best of [being in the] country even if it is damp and cold, doesn’t it beat all? Haven’t any news - have not heard from Lucy yet - have written her since I came home. Shall mail this in the City - where I expect something from thee - for I want to hear very much. How are all the folks and that new Coz of mine? I mean the fair haired one from So. Boston? My calls are few as yet but I shall make some after a while. Haven’t anything interesting for the girls or boys. The Queen’s message is expected every hour, and there is to be a general ringing and a cannonading, on the occasion. They must get out the School [Committee] in B. and “blaze away.” Here I must stop but love to all and a 100 sweets to yourself from your Affectionate husband Jerome P TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE (Josef Rokus) The “sympathized with us entirely” probably refers to the fact that Jerome’s and Allie’s first child, Charles Jerome Peirce, had died about a month before this letter was written on July 10, 1858, the date that Charles Jerome was born.

I am wondering where you are, I hope with some of your kind friends enjoying the evening very much. Did you have a pleasant ride to the City? Father and A. reached home in safety. The folks have been very busy washing and are now in the sitting room but myself. I have done various things to keep busy. Went outdoors at noon. Bought some white yarn for your socks, have spent $2 [and] 30 cents for yarn, 8 for whale bones. Tuesday Morn. I have again come to my room to say a few words, as Joseph talks of going up to the office and we have to watch our chance as schools does [???] [???] keep. Will you please bring me a little bottle of ink when you come? Be careful and not get it on anything when you bring it. How are you this morning, dear Jerry? You do not know how much I missed you last eve. I hardly know what to do with myself or how to act. I sleep with Abby in her room, and when I woke in the night would almost say Jerome to her, before I would think where I was. Where did you get your supper and breakfast? And how did you rest? You do not know how much I think about you. I get along very well until about the time for you to come home. Be sure and not stay alone much. I have seen no one out of the family but Mr. Pudkins, he passed here yesterday. I felt pretty well this morning. Have ironed some things of your dear self. There is not any news this morning, only we have a rainy day today that is so rare that I must tell you. Shall probably have to stay in today but that will not trouble me as I have no inclination to go anywhere or to see strange faces. Will now close if Joseph does not go up in town. Will add a word tonight. Your most devoted and loving wife, Allie Tuesday night. My dear Jerry, Brother is going up in town and will take this. What have you been doing today? I am making Frank a shirt. Have felt pretty well today. Mary sends best love, etc. All send love to all. Give my love to all of Foster’s folks. Mother gives love to you. Father says mine too. Abby has just come in, sends love and says I behave very well. I suppose you have got home. Where are you, oh dear? Wish you could come in and see us. I have written a note to Mrs. Hanscomb. Hope I shall hear tomorrow. In haste, Yours, Allie P.S. There is nothing in the [???] downstairs that you will need. It is all upstairs. We are going to have fish for breakfast. The boys went fishing today. Had good luck. A.

The day has been quite full of incident and news. Found the usual company at the depot. Took a seat with “Isaac” who appeared about as usual. We parted at the depot with “hopes to meet again”. The first thing was a great fire at Lawrence! Hotel, Court House, stores, two churches, etc. etc!!— burnt, etc. etc., then ditto the Reform School at Westboro. Set on fire by a boy, etc., arrested, etc. Arrived the store, found a letter from Lucy written from Quebec, Canada which I haven’t fairly made out yet save that they have been at Saratoga, Lake Champlain, Montreal, etc. to Q[uebec] to return via White Mountains to Portland to be at home middle of this week. All well, seen many fine sights etc. Sends love to everybody. Been busy today. Saw Ellen P. with her cousins from Worcester. Jose[phine?] and Martha Walker- very fine looking young ladies- with Lucy Bowen (Addie visiting L’s [T’s?]). John P. and I weighed them. Lucy B. the heaviest, 120 lbs, just my weight. Ellen inquired particularly after you and mentioned the intended visit again but the cousins may delay it again. I made little answer to it for then. They expect you to visit them. Found all right at Mrs. R’s. Seemed glad to see me and inquired very kindly after you. Saw Annie at noon. Mrs. Stubbert been in. All well but a little trouble to Aunt W. from her teeth. Nothing very serious. No news at the shop. (Lottie’s I mean now) everything seemed all right. Have spent most of the eve at Mr. J’s. All well. Janet looks nicely. Chatted with Geo[rge] about Navy Yard matters. Called at the Hall’s. Little Fred been very sick with bowel complaint. Did not expect him to live but some better, very thin and fretty. Pity Mrs H. Seems grieved tonight. No news from Gussy for a month. Sent much love to you. The “Issabella” has arrived at Melbourn [don’t know what place he is referring to here]. Don’t know whether there are letters from Mrs. Sargent or not. Mr. Brown not expected home for a fortnight yet and didn’t think to inquire of Foster. Went into the church this eve before tea. Saw Mr. E. Told him of meeting Mr. Darr.[?] Spoke highly of him. Said he was one of Dr. Youngs boys, an old mate of his, etc. The church is fast changing appearances. Things at the store in my room-quiet-but shall keep along. There seems to be customers aplenty and prospect of a busy time by and by. Snow[? short for someone’s name?] not well today. Mr. J. and I the only ones to work this P.M. He mailed the letter in C_ Friday eve. Too late of course. Mrs. Frost fails, recovery very doubtful. A large abscess in the eye and discharging continually. She is unconscious most of the time. There, Allie dear, isn’t this newsy? How have you all been today? May you sleep sweetly and dream of any one you would like too! Give much love to all, not forgetting yourself. Am well. Expect to be at D. tomorrow eve.

Text Any textual data included in the document LETTER TRANSCRIPTION Pleasant Valley, March 19th 57 Dear Brother Jerry [Jerome], There came a letter yesterday to Pleasant Valley, and I claimed it. Did not deny the note to the individual with the funny name, though I must tell you what she did. Brother F. brought the letter, and gave it to her first, and so I lost the pleasure of first opening it. But, Jerry, of course I do not grieve over it, for if it was anything of a [???], I should get consoled by thinking what I once did, a little more than a year ago. Have been “stargazing” since your return. Your inquiries as to my success must be answered a little unsatisfactorily for I have been somewhat unfortunate in the arrangement. To be a little figurative, some resolved one way, and some another, and you know a constellation in such disorder would be hardly presentable. So I rearranged. I simply mean, the quilting got misplaced which made it necessary to pick out, and sew over. Hence a digression, Jerry, I sometimes indulge in a little “sentimentality” about my work, and feel a wish, most strongly, that they who are to enjoy it may have a life as full of starlight as is that. I would have the luminaries as bright and shining, and rather more unfading. Have commenced crocheting some lace for “our Allie” for my evening employment. I like it, and she thinks it pretty so it must be right, mustn’t it? Don’t ever condemn yourself for stoicity, my dear “brother.” I have wondered many times how you so readily understood the undercurrent of my feelings so and met them so congenially. I believe my nature is somewhat peculiar, and perhaps physical weakness has rendered it a little sensitive. But, it has ever been refreshed and strengthened by your sympathy and love. I love to feel that I may repose so much of the heart’s burden, both of joy and sorrow to one who can so well understand and appreciate its needs. The sermon came safely today, for which all thanks. Been imagining my good friend, the doctor, is having a treat, and thanks the good donor. Love to each and all, yourself not left out, from “Sister Abbie” J. Peirce, Hill Corner, Charlestown, Mass.

Surely we have much to be thankful for. I hope and trust, on this, that your Sister and Haty are getting along nicely. Give much love and sympathy from me. How I wish I could do something for them, but I know that all that love and kinship can do will be done and our Father in heaven will order all things wisely and for our good, if we put our trust in him. It seems a long time since you were here. We little thought when we bade you good bye, what was to be, before we met again. I thought you did not look well and I made the remark to Mr J. [Jaquith]. He said that he noticed it. I believe that people often have better health afterward and I trust you will. If you cannot take your place at the corner of the table just now, we will keep your place in our hearts bright and warm until you think it safe to come. Then you will find more than one glad to see you. I will take as good care of A. [Allie] as I can, but I think she is growing selfish. I hear you say, “Why?” I asked her to let me see something the other day [and] she said “no.” I thought then that I would tell you about it. I knew you would see to it when you get here. My love to your Sister Lucy, and a large share to yourself and now, Dear Jerry, I must say good night and pleasant dreams. Yours affect[ionately] Mother J [Jaquith] TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE (Josef Rokus) No year is indicated in the date of this letter.
