Virginia Frances Townsend (1836-1920) Author. Townsend began work as associate editor of T. S. Arthur's Lady's Home Magazine / Arthur's Home Magazine. She published three books in 1856. A children's book, Amy Deane, and Other Stories, heavily laced with moral lessons and tales of childhood death, appeared in 1862. In 1864, Townsend tried a different genre, history, with The Battlefields of Our Fathers. During this period, she continued as associate editor for Lady's Home Magazine (a position she held until at least 1862) and contributed to the magazine until at least 1872.
4” x 5” autograph letter signed, six-pages, Boston, February 19, 1876, to Mrs. Beaver. “…I came on to Boston with a solemn feeling that I must have no more good times but settle down bravely to the pen and paper….” Much more friendly content.
