 I, 2, Nathaniel Hawthorne and His Wife, by Julian Hawthorne, 1884
After Sophia Peabody was married and had children of her own, she often used to amuse them with these and similar wondrous tales of their maternal lineage, which had just sufficient possibility of truth in them to render them captivating to a child's imagination.
The relations of Sophia Peabody and her mother were always of the tenderest and most intimate description; and one of the former's letters, written towards the close of the latter's life, bears eloquent and moving testimony to this fact.
Sophia was intensely interested, and liked to have in the recitations the part of comparing the heroes, that occurs in Plutarch, and summing up their heroic deeds, as occurs constantly in Rollins; and I remember with what enthusiasm she would do this.

 I, 5, Nathaniel Hawthorne and His Wife, by Julian Hawthorne, 1884
Miss Elizabeth Peabody spent the spring and summer of 1838 with her brother Nathaniel, in West Newton, a village near Boston; and this was the occasion of letters (whereof some extracts follow) being written to her by Sophia.
She was quite sincere, moreover, in her belief that Sophia would never be strong enough properly to fulfil the duties of married life and this added substance to the dislike she felt to the idea of her brother's marrying at all.
Indeed, Hawthorne himself, and Sophia not less than he, felt the weight of the pathological objection; and Sophia consented to let the engagement continue only upon the stipulation that their marriage was to be strictly contingent upon her own recovery from her twenty years' illness.

 A Trio Transcendent
When three uncommonly bright, attractive Peabody girls (Elizabeth, born in 1804; Mary, 1806; and Sophia, 1809) were succeeded by three nondescript boys, it was plain to the New England elite in which the Palmers held charter membership that in the Nathaniel Peabody family, it was the women who counted.
By her early teens, when her sisters were already earning the family bread, Sophia retired to her bedroom, a martyr to headaches that held the family in thrall and defied the curative efforts of calomel, emetics, leeches, homeopathy, hypnotism and opiates.
Sophia and Hawthorne, in contrast, came quickly to rapturous vows and married after a mere three-year engagement.

 §4. Early Stories. XI. Hawthorne. Vol. 16. Early National Literature, Part II; Later National Literature, Part I. ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In all the biographies his love for Sophia Peabody has naturally filled a large place, but no sufficient estimate has perhaps been made of the intellectual enrichment his love brought him.
Transcendentalism had, of course, enfolded him, as it had the average New Englander, in its general atmosphere, and its temper is felt in some of his earliest writings, but it can hardly be said to have possessed his thought as it did later, and he had been in personal contact with none of the leaders.
It was not extraordinary, therefore, that Hawthorne was drawn, though with some mental qualms, into the full tide of Transcendentalism, nor that upon the termination of his service in the Boston Custom House, in 1841, he joined the Brook Farm venture, 1 in the hope of establishing a home there.

Neither Nathaniel nor Sophia wanted their son to be a penman, as Nathaniel, who to support his family had had to work as a customs officer, knew it to be well nigh impossible to make a vocation of writing.

It was in a cross-written letter that Elizabeth Peabody, the oldest of the sisters, had told Mary she'd been rebuffed by the widowed politician Horace Mann, with whom both sisters were smitten.
The "fl art," as Mary Peabody referred to the skills required in correspondence, was practiced intensively by schoolgirls and young women, who frequently commented in their letters on both the form and substance of the mail they received as they worked to develop a mature style.
As I read the Peabody sisters' private letters and journals, collected in more than a dozen archives across the country, I was regularly struck by expressions of thought or feeling that seemed to me meant to be read by a later generation.

 The Spirit of the Letter - What biographers find in other people's mail. By Megan Marshall
It was in a cross-written letter that Elizabeth Peabody, the oldest of the sisters, had told Mary she'd been rebuffed by the widowed politician Horace Mann, with whom both sisters were smitten. Attempting to save face, Elizabeth asserted she'd never really loved him.
When Elizabeth Peabody wrote of "my long-tongued pen," she was referring not only to the length of her letters, but to their reach—no letter, unless explicitly marked so, could be considered safe from the eyes of a recipient's friends, family members, or even random house guests.
And even for women like Elizabeth Peabody and her sisters, who did publish, writing letters for a sympathetic audience of friends and family—perhaps not so much smaller in number than the audience for Transcendentalist tracts—often produced a more assured and fluent voice.
