As I’ve been transcribing letters I’ve seen at the Houghton Library, I’ve been dying to share their content with you. I wrote to Houghton asking for permission and as long as I properly cite them, I can publish as much as I want!
Here’s the question: Would you be interested in full-length letters on this blog?
Right now I am transcribing letters from Abba, Anna and Lizzie (and so far one from May and one from Louisa).
I find Anna’s letters of particular interest because she deftly spins a good story and includes many wonderful day-to-day details.
Reading letters in their entirety paint a broader picture.
I don’t have a lot right now but there are some I’d love to post.
Leave your comments and let me know.

Yes! I can’t wait!
Yes, very interested. I loved the letters that Louisa and May wrote during their travels abroad and I love anything to do with all the Alcott women
Yes! I’ve been hooked on Louisa May Alcott ever since I found your blog over a year ago and would love to read her family letters!
I would like as many letters as you have, full length if possible. Reading a complete letter, with the trivial as well as important matters discussed, gives a real picture of the letter writer.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to read them!—-Merri
I would so LOVE this, xo LMA
I would be very interested in seeing letters from Elizabeth as she is my favorite of the Alcott girls. I fear that she is often overlooked and wish she wasn’t as much of a mystery. Thanks for all that you are doing to help us become more familiar with the Alcotts.
Definitely, especially from Lizzie. Your description of Anna’s sounds good too!
It’s a wonderful idea. And I’m glad the Houghton is amenable. Thanks for sharing your work!
Would love to see them!
Greetings, Susan –
Very interested in reading some of the letters! Especially those with day-to-day details. Love your posts. Beth
