Correspondence from Anna Maria Hall to an Unnamed Woman Author Thanking Her for Sending Her Book on Female Education, 17 February 1842
Thanks an unnamed woman author for sending her book on female education. Hall feels there is currently no system of education in England, and the ideas the author espouses are much needed by the women of England. She thinks the author is wrong to elevate drawing over music, as music has given Hall much solace. Written on her Old Brompton letterhead.

Turns of Fortune And Other Tales
Turns of Fortune and Other Tales by Mrs. S. C. Hall is a collection of stories that explore the unpredictability of life, the twists of fate, and the social dynamics of 19th-century society. The themes of the stories revolve around how fortune, whether good or bad, can change the course of people's lives and bring unexpected outcomes. The collection reflects on the resilience of the human spirit as characters face challenges, overcome hardships, and sometimes experience dramatic shifts in their fortunes. Through a series of engaging narratives, the author delves into the lives of individuals who encounter moments of both triumph and misfortune. The stories reveal the impact of chance, circum...
Autograph Letter Signed
Anna Maria Hall was the wife of Samuel Carter Hall; she was a prolific writer in her own right and the two Halls collaborated on works which bear his name only. Ruskin writes: "Your letter--so kind & good and like you, had not to go to Ireland. Little Sunbeam was singing 'Little Maggie May,' just behind me--(for I never care to see anybody singing) when it came--and I took it to the piano and put it beside her... She will write I doubt not--she can't do more than write...I'm very sick and ill--and ashamed of myself--I can't help it--in spite of 'counting blessings'--there are things that hurt. Irish things, too-- though you couldn't believe it, could you? Please tell Mr. Hall I've tried vainly to get my next paper done--and can't do it--I'm past thinking, for the time. I hope to be in some working state when I come back and I think I can go on steadily in the autumn. There will be plenty to write about the exhibitions, won't there?"
The Cambridge Guide to Women's Writing in English
This Guide aims to consolidate and epitomise the re-reading of women's writing that has gone on in the last twenty-five years. This is an opportunity for stock-taking - a timely project, when so much writing has been rediscovered, reclaimed and republished. There are entries on writers, on individual texts, and on general terms, genres and movements, all printed in a single alphabetical sequence. The earliest written documents in medieval English (the visionary writings of Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe) are covered in an historical - and geographical - sweep that takes us up to the present day. The book reflects the spread of literacy, the history of colonisation and the development of post-colonial cultures using and changing the English language. The entries are written by contributors from all the countries covered. The result is a work of reference with a unique feeling for the vitality, wealth and diversity of women's writing.
Letter from Anna Maria Hall, London, to Mary Howitt,1855 August 20
Sending Mrs. Howitt a sample of her subscription letter for Miss Nightingale; saying "There is every reason to hope that Miss Nightingale will soon return from her Mission of love & mercy to recover the strength she has so nobly devoted to her wounded Countrymen - It would be a gratification to thousands to prove their appreciation of the invaluable Services rendered by her, & her associates, to those so dear to their Queen & Country - Mrs. Sidney Herbert tells me that the first wish of Miss Nightingale's heart, 'is to have a hospital in London -which she can superintend herself & have her unpaid nursing system fairly tried' - We propose therefore to open an account at Messrs. Coutts' bank -...
Letter from Anna Maria Hall, London, to Mary Howitt, 1855
Concerning the letter she has written to Miss Burdett-Coutts asking for her help for the Nightingale Fund; saying "I had some circulars printed - but they look so ugly - and there is something fresh to think of, or to tell, in almost every letter - so that until all is en train, I must just write on - and I have been so encouraged in fact when once fairly laid before the public - the thing will work itself - Lady Canning, from whom I heard again this morning is quite eager to lay it before the Queen on Her Majesty's return - Lady Pollock also wrote me - she would help - & gives £5 - that is my first declared subscription. I hardly dared venture to write Miss Coutts - I real do love her, and...
Letter from Anna Maria Hall, London, to Mrs. Montgomery, 1856
Inviting her to call when she is next in London; adding "What a blessing little Jessie must be to you - but I am sure, lovely as Devonshire is, you find (as we did) the air relaxing;" informing her of the death of her mother in January "...without a sigh or a struggle - as lovely in death as she was in life! but her loss to me, is what I cannot write about."
