EDWARD ABIEL WASHBURN

C1877 Detailed and Gossipy Manuscript Letter by Well-Known Hymn Writer and Professor, Edward Abiel Washburn

New York, 1877. Non-Book. On offer is a detailed letter written and signed by Edward Abiel Washburn [1819-1881]. Washburn writes from New York to "My dear George Hubert (? ) ". His letter includes four chatty pages. It seems Hubert (? ) has sent Washburn some lyrics for a hymn, for which Washburn is grateful. Throughout the chatty letter, Washburn touches on receiving the "pastoral lyric[s]" for his hymns, his travels, his faith, gossip about community members, the "Catholic spirit", and closes with encouragement for his letter's recipient, stating: "...when 'my stammering tongue' is dumb, I hope young and [genius? Generous? ] voices like yours will speak more clearly. Yours Cordially, EA Washburn". This letter is a fascinating insight into the brilliant brain of Washburn. BIO NOTES: Edward Abiel Washburn was a Hymn writer, rector, professor. After Harvard, Washburn studied theology at Andover and New Haven, and entered the Congregational ministry. In 1844, having been ordained in the Protestant Episcopal Church, he became Rector of St. Paul’s, Newburyport, Massachusetts, where he stayed until 1851.
