Included in boxes 17-29 are the papers of the Atwater, Chace, Greene,
Hill, Morris, Morton, Smith and Wanton families. They concentrate on Richard
Mead Atwater and Abby Sophia Greene Atwater and their children and on Sarah
Anne Greene Smith, a granddaughter. About the Atwater family, Sarah Smith has
said: "In the final analysis, I am inclined to believe that the main point of
the collection is the way in which this intelligent and rather artistic family
fell away from the Quakerism of the father, Richard Mead Atwater."
Other correspondents include: Atwater children, Eliza Greene Chace,
Walter Damrosch, William Lloyd Garrison, Sarah Anna Chace Greene, Edward
Everett Hale, Rowland G. Hazard, Emmeline Fisher Morris, Margaret Hill Morris,
Mary Robinson Morton, Robert Morton, Esther Biddle Rhoads, Esther Morton Smith
(1797-1865) and (1866-1942), Benjamin R. Smith, Daniel B. Smith, Deborah Morris
Smith, Edward Wanton Smith, Elizabeth Gray Vining, Ralph Vaughan Williams and
Ogden Wood.
Topics covered by the collection include: social and political
history; business concerns, including Richard M. Atwater's connections with the
Solvay Process Co. and Johnson Harvester Co.; the Quakerism of Richard M.
Atwater and Esther M. Smith (1797-1865); the composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams;
the artist, Ogden Wood; Sarah Anne Greene Smith's views on Japan, 1933-35,
while a teacher at Friends Girls School and letters written to her by her
Japanese students and colleagues as well as some photographs from Japan.
Principals' biographies
Richard Mead Atwater (1844-1922) was raised in Providence R.I. as a
Quaker and graduated from Brown University. He intended to study medicine, but
instead joined a glass works company. After his marriage to Abby Sophia Greene,
they lived in Millville, N.J., summer months were spent at Sea Isle City.
Atwater devised and patented methods for making accurate graduated measures for
the chemical trade as well as a portable finishing furnace for making glassware
and other inventions. In 1889 the family moved to Germantown, Pa. and then, in
order to study European methods of glass manufacture, to Germany where
Atwater's ties to the glass works firm of Whitall, Tatum were severed. In 1892,
RMA joined the Semet Solvay Company with which he remained for 8 years.
Meanwhile, in 1893, the family rented a house in Syracuse. Then, in 1900, he
became Director of European business for Johnson Harvester Company based in
Paris. Here they made the acquaintance of the artist Ogden Wood. Atwater
remained with the latter company for 6 years and the family then settled in
Chadds Ford, Pa. in a home previously occupied by artist Howard Pyle.
In his letters, RMA ponders philosophic questions, discusses the art
world, people within their social milieu, business, travel, news of their
children. It is evident that the Atwaters belong to the upper echelon of
society. The letters of ASA are often written on the verso of his letters.
Of Abby Sophia Greene Atwater (1844-1935), there is less biographical
information. She, too, grew up in Providence R.I. Her letters show her to be
comfortable within and in control of her world. The family is well-to-do and
has servants, child care, travels. Culture is important and ASA attends
theaters and concerts, often mentions art and photography. She is clearly
well-educated, linguistically capable and picks up German and French with ease.
Her correspondence indicates strong mother-daughter and sibling relationships,
especially clear in the correspondence with her sister, Eliza Greene Chace.
There are references to children's schooling, costs, careers, everyone's
health; as her children move out of the family house, there is mention of their
careers and interests.
On a number of Eliza Greene Chace's letters are very proficient
sketches, primarily of women.
Sarah Anna Chace Greene (d. 1904) is devoted to her children and very
attached to her son-in-law, Richard Mead Atwater. The social network of her
time depended on visits and conversations and this can be gleaned from her
correspondence.
Esther Morton Smith (1797-1865) is, through her writing, clearly also
very well-educated. She writes long, tender letters to her brother, Robert
Morton.

15. Moore, Milcah Martha (Hill) 1740-1829.
A. Commonplace book,
1776.
In this Commonplace book there are several items which I
believe were copied from the lost Journal of Elizabeth Graeme. As I remember
it,one is about preparing a meal and the other is headed "Settle"-a place in
Yorkshire. Edwin Wolfe of the Library Company said these were doubtless copied
from the Journal of E.G.
Now-about Elizabeth Graeme. She was of a wealthy Philadelphia
family who also had a summer place at "Graeme Park" near Horsham. (This is not
far from the home of Milcah M.H.Moore in Montgomeryville, Pa. so the 2 women
could easily have known each other. E.Graeme was a very romantic person and for
a while was affianced to William Templeton Franklin, the illegitimate son of
Benjamin Franklin. When he jilted her she was hear broken. To regain her
spirits she went to visit Dr. Fothergill in England. Part of the Journal
entries are about the time in England.
I think that it would be a good idea to have a reference to
this E.Graeme so called "Lost" journal.

And again: "One idea that has just come to me...is how strange
it was that the Atwater family in Paris had not interest in all the modern
forms of Art that were developing while they were there. Gertrude Stein was of
this same period and how different her appreciation. I suppose it was the
conservative influence of Ogden Wood that held the Atwaters captive. Also, they
were pretty naive, coming as they did from the narrow confines of Providence
& Millville."
Smith, S.A.G., October 15, 1985.
