Burger Archivist.","3 Diaries, 1933, 1936-1940 and 1941-1943 of Mae Alvan Belt of Rockville, Maryland. The 1933 girl scout diary was written while Mae Belt was a teenager and contains brief entries that mention school, house work, and social life. The 1936-1940 diary contains brief daily entries. Mae Belt seems to live with her parents and mentions going to work, working some evenings, helping with Red Cross work, doing house hold chores, but also comments on her social life and particular her courtship with a man named Frank, whom she should marry in the early 1940s.","The 1941-1943 volume also contains brief daily entries relating to her work, her relationship with Frank, and social activities. At some time she was enrolled in Red Cross nursing classes and also mentions her engagement to Frank and moving into a room of her own.","The following description was provided by the seller:","\"The diaries represent the years 1933 (Girl Scout diary), 1936-1940 (5 year diary) and 1941-1943 (Another 5 year diary but only 3 years written on). By the time the 1936 diary begins, Mae is in her early 20's, dating a man by the name of Frank, either is in or has been to college and wonders if Frank and her will be married before he gets drafted. They also take a 2 week road trip at the end of summer in 1940 to Yellowstone Park and I believe that is where she buys her Yellowstone diary. I've taken most of my quotes from that particular trip. The Girl Scout diary has entries from March 17th through November 1st. The entries have to do with her time as a teenage girl but there are no entries about the girl scouts. There were also 6 postcards with this lot and 1 photo (found in one of the diaries). All of the postcards date between 1937-1941 [addressed to Mae Belt.\"","For selected excerpts, also provided by the seller, see finding aid link below.","The following excerpts were provided by the seller: \"Went to church.

Having had the advantage of a good early training in the English classics, I soon found out that there was a good, plain English word for all the ideas I had, or was likely to have, and I have made it my business to try and find out that word. In writing negro dialect though as in my Virginia stories I have, in order to make it true to life, all my negroes coin words. The negroes, as you know perhaps, are very admirable word coiners. They love to use long words, and they introduce a word wonderfully like the one they are after, and in the same senses, so that it conveys a perfectly good meaning. I hardly know whether all of the words I put in the mouths of my negroes are of my own invention, or recollections of my childhood in an old place in Virginia. Some are my own - 'reckelsome' for reckless, 'furgitive' for forgetful, 'discontemtous' for contemptuous, ect. These may be found in my novels - 'Children of Destiny' and 'Throckmorton'. In them I have strictly followed the negro manner of making [2 words illegible] right, and the sound appropriate so. I have not those books at hand. I am only at this place temporarily, but you may be able to get them at your public library. Wishing I could give you a more satisfactory and interesting explanation, I am very truly yours.\"","-- 1 silver spoon engraved with Molly Elliot Seawell's name and an image of her home \"The Shelter\" in Gloucester, Va., is housed in the Artifacts Collection.","-- 22 books written by Molly Elliot Seawell and 2 books written by Elizabeth Gordon Biddle Gordon are housed in the Rare Books Collection.

Having had the advantage of a good early training in the English classics, I soon found out that there was a good, plain English word for all the ideas I had, or was likely to have, and I have made it my business to try and find out that word. In writing negro dialect though as in my Virginia stories I have, in order to make it true to life, all my negroes coin words. The negroes, as you know perhaps, are very admirable word coiners. They love to use long words, and they introduce a word wonderfully like the one they are after, and in the same senses, so that it conveys a perfectly good meaning. I hardly know whether all of the words I put in the mouths of my negroes are of my own invention, or recollections of my childhood in an old place in Virginia. Some are my own - 'reckelsome' for reckless, 'furgitive' for forgetful, 'discontemtous' for contemptuous, ect. These may be found in my novels - 'Children of Destiny' and 'Throckmorton'. In them I have strictly followed the negro manner of making [2 words illegible] right, and the sound appropriate so. I have not those books at hand.
