A handwritten account on the recto of an envelope documents the abuse Helen suffered from her husband \"taken straight from Helen's lips\" on Nov 30, 1921 as \"testimony to be used in case of divorce\" as well as a 1938 three page account of her own abuse by longtime partner Roy Hall; and a manuscript letter apparently imagining a post divorce conversation with Philip.","This material contains materials that document domestic violence. It also contains racisist language. ","The purpose of this note is to give users the opportunity to decide whether they want to view these materials, or at least, to mentally or emotionally prepare themselves to view the materials. ","Contains a diary which includes a tipped in loose manuscript note, one dried flower, and an article affixed to the rear pastedown. This diary documents her time at school and her early experiences of living away from home, learning to form female friendships and resolve conflict, and how she would like to comport herself in the face of crushes and sexual attractions. Content also includes her work writing and on piano, which remains a consistent focus during her school diaries. Towards the back of the diary are photographs and autobiographies of classmates and roommates. These include photos, profiles, sayings, and information on favorite gathering spots.","Portrait at front endpaper, pasted in photos, pinned and inserted ephemera and original art related to sorority events, sports matches, and friends. College life, including movies and off campus events, are a focus. Friendships and courtships become more important as war looms.","Numerous letters, news clippings, college ephemera, and envelope of dried petals laid in loosely along with photos pasted in throughout. By this time, she is considering her future beyond the college, including but not limited to marriage. Several pages (with photos) are dedicated to a young man named Bob White who has left to the war. She also documents her wedding to Philip in July, noting that she wore \"the dress I had worn in the concert at the end of the year and had such a wonderful ride that nite with Bob.\" Of her new husband, she reports that she had decided \"I'll take a chance...where will a reckless girl like that end?\"","Assorted letters and notes laid in loosely. Notable is the shift in ownership signature from \"Isabel Myers\" to \"Isabel Brinckerhoff.\" The author feels restless and in limbo, having returned to campus married and struggling with how to fulfill two parts of herself.","Three letters from college friends (within two envelopes) at rear, house plans pasted in, and household budgets on the rear pastedown. This is the first diary to be titled \"Married Life\" rather than \"Diary of Izzy at Boarding School.\" Much of the content focuses on major life changes including relocation to California, living with Philip's family in the early period of marriage, and trying to understand how her selfhood and her new social role align. She begins addressing her diary as \"Betty,\" as though speaking to a friend. She also becomes a mother.","Loose clippings and manuscript notes laid in at front. A throughline of this period is the struggle to continue with and evolve in music and the struggle to follow the expectations of others.","Numerous news clippings, letters, and manuscript laid in loosely. The diary begins on November 11, 1931 and reflects on on Armistice day, her divorce from Philip and her new life. Part of this life includes the experiences of taking lovers, including Virgil (or \"Virge\") and the courtship of Roy Hall, a local philanthropist and businessman.","Poetry and letters laid in at front. Focuses on daily life, motherhood, her relationship with Virge, and entering a relationship with Roy Hall.","Numerous letters,poems, and manuscripts laid in. This and the next two diaries can be read in concert with the author's later 1938 outline of Roy Hall's abuse, which brings new light to her discussions of the ups and downs of their home.","Majority of content emphasizes the author's unhappiness being attached to her abusive partner, Roy, and her concerns for herself and her daughter. Her love for her daughter is also a focus.","A five year diary used for only one year, with pages densely filled. Assorted clippings and notes inserted or pasted throughout. The entries discusses her  relationship with Roy including the domestic abuse she faces. She also documents her love and care for her her daughter and new creative inspiration.","This material contains materials that document domestic violence.

She was the wife of Lexington Presbyterian minister, Rev. William Spotswood White (1800-1873), minister of the Lexington Presbyterian Church from 1848-1867. They had seven children who lived to adulthood: James Jones \"Old Zeus\" White (faculty member at Washington and Lee University), Rev. George William White, Eliza Westmore White Wade, Rev. Henry Martyn White, Harriet Newell White McCrum, Captain Hugh Augustus White (who died at Manassas), and Thomas Spotswood White. Jane and William also had a son, John Spotswood White, who died in infancy. She was a devout Christian as evidenced by her writings. Jane died on October 3, 1878.","This collection contains a scrapbook, diary, and correspondence belonging to Jane Isabella Watt White. ","The scrapbook was started in 1855 and primarily contains newspaper clippings, including obituaries for relatives such as her parents (George and Margaret Watt), Jane Watt, Sarah Maria Massie (sister), and Harriet McCrum (daughter) as well as other individuals including Clement P. McKennie. Other clippings are published poems, prayers, and religious meditations. Of particular note are several handwritten items. One is a handwritten poem written \"To the Memory of my Sister Eliza\" (Eliza Westmore). Another is \"For a little girl's sampler\" copied by hand by Jane. The last item is labeled \"Extracts from 'Aunt's Scrapbook'\" (Mrs. D. J. Jones) written out by someone with the initials E. J. G. of Williamsburg, Va. Three letters are also tipped into the scrapbook. The first letter is dated April 6, 1841 and was written to White by James Jones of Mountain Hall in Nottoway County, Virginia. Jones was a physician and statesman who goes into detail about the \"febrile attacks\" (seizures) his wife (Catherine) recently experienced and describes at length her condition. He wrote, \"I believe I have the best medical aid our part of the Country affords on which I look for Divine Blessing with some comfort.\" The second letter is dated May 12, 1848 and written to Rev. William and Jane White by Catherine Jones of Mountain Hall who describes the last days of her husband, James Jones, before his passing in April. She thanks Rev. White for remembering her husband during his sermon. She ends the letter by giving information about her husband's early life. The final letter is dated August 26, 1848 and written to Rev. William White by Catherine Jones of Mountain Hall. It acknowledges his move from Charlottesville for a new job [as minister of Lexington Presbyterian Church]. She wrote, \"I fear that the mountains will be a barrier\" between his family and her. She mentions James (her son) and describes him as a \"link (among others) in the chain of my comforts that has been broken off.\" ","The collection also includes a few letters. One was written in March 1848 by Jane to her father, George Watt, with a letter written by William White to him on the back of Jane's. Jane shares that her oldest son (James) has accepted Christ into this life a year after his brother George. She goes into detail describing the kind of person James is. William also shares his excitement over seeing his sons sitting at the \"table of the Lord.\" Another letter was written to Jane by her son, Hugh, while he was studying at the Union Theological Seminary in April 1861. The letter outlines his thoughts about the war founded in his religious beliefs. He informs his mother that he is mustering in the Hampden-Sydney company although he hasn't joined it, saying he prefers to join a company at Washington College. There are two letters written by Jane to her son Tommie. One was written at the start of his military service during the Civil War. The first letter acknowledges that he is her youngest child and she says, \"O! how it rends my heart to give you up, especially as you are not a Christian.\" The second letter was written after the death of his brother Hugh in 1862. Both letters are undated. Both letters plead with him to come to Christ. The last letter in the collection was written by Margaret Junkin Preston to Jane on September 1862 offering her condolences on the loss of son Hugh.","Jane's diary spans from 1855-1875 though is not comprehensive. As evidenced by her writing, she was a devout Christian. The subjects of her diary include religion, her children, their spouses, her grandchildren, the Civil War (including her thoughts about the North, her sons, Liberty Hall Volunteers), illness (such as typhoid fever, scarlet fever,  diptheria), and death (family and friends). Of particular note is her inclusion of the death of an enslaved boy named John Daniel in her diary. She mentions his death in her July 29, 1856 entry writing, \"The death of a little servant boy saddened us much. His illness was long, and severe, but his death was comforting.\" Jane wrote out the conversation she had with John Daniel as he was on his death bed, which was rooted in religion.
