Her LifeÐÐ"It seems to me that my real life is only in
preparation, that my education is subservient to something better, and I hope
that my life will be a useful and noble life."

Her LovesÐÐTo Marie:: "Yes, dear one, such a love as has been given us must be kept high and fine. I feel humble before it, like lifting it high, lest it trail in the dust perchance."To Wellington: "Aunt Marie and I didn't know much about bringing up a little boy and we made many serious blunders, but we always loved you and we did our best."Of Horace: "When he was another woman's husband, I tried not to think of him. Now that he is dead, he is mine."
Of Levi: "This is a lonesome house tonight with Father gone. ... Oh,
I feel as if I had lost the best friend I ever had in this world."

Her LibraryÐÐ"How to reach the busy men and women, how to
carry wholesome and enjoyable books to the far-away corners of the city, how to
enlist the interest of tired factory girls, how to put the working man in touch
with the art books relating to his craft and so increase the value of his labor
and the dignity of his day's workÐÐthese are some of the things which I
conceive to be my duty to study, if I would help this public library become what
it is for."
