Long letter from February 13, 1847 recounts extraordinary Massachusetts weather from January to February, detailing rapid shifts from sunshine to sleet to snowdrifts several feet deep, and forecasts more snow in February. The piece also discusses religious intolerance, the English quest for liberty, and a short poem about a dying girl choosing Christ’s thorn-crowned crown over roses.

Fromm Jerrald's Shilling Magazin Short Story
A fragmentary tale recalls a cold night rescue of a poor child by Mrs Eden. A sixpence misused exposes baker Balrush’s theft, leading to police involvement and a moral reckoning as the child is freed and returned home. The narrative contrasts charity and deception amid frostbound streets.
