And this Mainer missed the Longfellow connection, too. Thankfully you happened by! I'm amending the post with your insight, in case the addition of Samuel to the clues, if a brother or husband, might help future readers recognize this Mary from their family research. Could you contact me privately (email under Inquiries) with your contact info in case you're willing to help with future posers?Pam Beveridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272409581983333836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470217109659177851.post-75298092759306866612014-07-02T02:52:15.815-07:002014-07-02T02:52:15.815-07:00Hi, I write in copperplate and study the different...Hi, I write in copperplate and study the different styles of this handwriting from the nineteenth century (especially in old albums). The last two signed pages of the 1839-1851 Autograph Album of Miss Mary Tracy of Norwich, Connecticut definitely say LEUMAS. I would suggest that this could be Samuel backwards and may have been done to hide the identity of the writer. The last poem (I am weary..etc) is by Longfellow.<br />I hope this helps.<br />NickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
