Amherst July 15, 1822
Dear Susan-
With evry sentiment of
respect and gratitude, I resume the pen of affection
to consecrate a woman to the pleasuring employment
of addressing my absent friend. I recevd your kind letter
by the hand of Uncle F which gave me the greatest pleasure
to hear from your family, and that you enjoyed good health.
I hope My Dear Susan will excuse me for not writing
before when I tell her the reason of it. I have so much to
do, that I can hardly get time to eat, or to sleep, I have
to write composition evry week half a yard long besides
I have drawn a map of the world-finished it last week
my studies are Geography, grammer, Rhetorick, history.
Miss Tyler had 43 schollars that attended her writing
school I was one of the numbers I assure Susan I have
been as busy as hen with one chicken the school is very
pleasant her number of scholars is 140 all kinds of
faces that one ever saw, they are from all part of the
country 40 Ladies three that board with me are from
Canada. We have very pleasant walks and some
beautiful rides on horseback we ride far as the
famous Connecticut River how delightful. I wish
you were here to go with us how pleasant would it be.
The bell rings and I must run.

Monday afternoon. I want to see you very much. I think
of you more and more evry Day. Give my love to your Sister

it is not long since we had one and thought it not best

in the Academy & after tea, all the Ladies that belonged to
the school took a walk all dressed in white, we had a
delightful time I wish you were here to go with us. It is one of the
pleasantest places that I was ever in. I should write more but my
paper is full. this from your affectionate Friend, N. Carpenter

Title
A name given to the resource
John L. Lovell Collection
Description
An account of the resource
John L. Lovell (1825-1903) was a professional photographer. He came to Amherst in 1856 and established the Amherst Picture Gallery, the first photographic studio in Western Massachusetts. In addition to studio work, Lovell was interested in scientific photography, accompanying an Amherst College astronomical team to California in 1882, as well as photographing Connecticut Valley geological features.
His photos provide the best visual documentation from the 1860s to the 1890s of the successive transitions Amherst made from an agricultural town, to an industrial one, and finally, to a town known chiefly for its educational institutions. Moreover, Lovell’s images provide the best visual available documentation of Emily Dickinson’s community. Early images of the Dickinson houses, the streets, shops, and businesses the family knew intimately – all are found within this very important collection.
John L. Lovell Collection (ca. 1860s – ca. 1890s) can be seen in its entirety at the Jones Library. It includes negatives; 59 stereopticon views of Amherst; 40 cartes de visite; and 1200 prints. The collection includes the first surviving photos of Amherst. Subjects include Amherst and the Connecticut Valley, especially architecture, businesses, construction, etc. Biographical reviews in local newspapers of the day; advertisements for his business and other materials accompany the photographs. The cartes de visite are significant because of extensive collateral material in the manuscript collection.
