Mary Johnston , "Three Hills," Virginia, to "My Dear Mr. Yard" [possibly Robert Sterling Yard , editor at Moffat, Yard and Company] 3 p.

[regrets her share of their mutual misunderstanding but still feels that some of the points made in his letter should have been made during their original negotiations and agrees to remain good acquaintances and well-wishers, "By nature I am a hard fighter but I can truly say that I rarely feel animosity toward the person whom, for reasons, I am fighting. If this is the case in actual conflict it is of course doubly the case when the conflict has ceased, or when, as in this case, I am prepared to agree that greater insight on my own part might have helped to prevent any grave conflict at all."]

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
