Richard James Hooker PapersThese papers were compiled by historian Richard J. Hooker, who specialized in American colonial history and was a pioneer in the field of food history. The full collection at the Schlesinger Library contains approximately 300 miscellaneous letters, mostly from American women in the 19th century, covering a wide range of subjects, such as religion, education, politics, marriage, and local and family news. The majority of the letters are written by “unknown” women, and give a glimpse into the life of the housewife and the schoolteacher. In a selection of letters, noted below, women discuss illness and death.
