Title A name given to the resource Letter from Genevra Counihan (1975) Description An account of the resource A letter from State Representative Genevra Counihan for the Girl Scout time capsule. Transcription: Dear Ellen, Thank you for your letter asking me to participate with the Brownies in the time capsule. Your invitation means even more to me, because I too was a Brownie many years ago and now have a daughter, Jessica, in Troop 190. You asked me two questions: What I think is important about Concord and how I got to be State Representative. The most important thing about Concord is the people who live here now, lived here in the past and will live here in the future. People have given Concord its special character—the historic landmarks, the open fields and woodlands, the ideals, simplicity, and all the activities we enjoy. Many have cared very much, shared their ideas, and worked hard to keep what is best about Concord and to make our Town a better place to live. To become a State Representative. one must run for office. Running means asking people to help you and to vote for you. I met the people in our District (Concord, Carlisle and North Sudbury) by going alone or with a friend to over 3,000 doors to introduce myself, so voters could ask me questions. I also attended over 40 coffees and many more meetings, fairs, parades, and even the dump, where it was possible to meet and talk to voters. But it took much more than my effort to win. There were many volunteers who addressed envelopes, delivered leaflets, passed out bumper stickers and pins, talked to friends, wrote press releases and had parties to raise money for our campaign. My job now is to help people in our District, so if you have more questions, please let me know, or if you have any suggestions, I'd like those too. Thanks again for including my letter.

Title A name given to the resource Letter of introduction for Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar Subject The topic of the resource E. R. Hoar Description An account of the resource Judge Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar (1816-1895)—known familiarly as Rockwood—was a good friend to Emerson and his fellow member in the Social Circle in Concord and the Saturday Club in Boston. Like his distinguished father Sam Hoar, Rockwood was a lawyer, a key member of the Middlesex Bar, an active citizen of Concord, and a public servant at the state and national levels. A cultivated and sociable man with a good sense of humor, he was as comfortable among members of the Saturday Club as he was in a court of law. Rockwood graduated from Harvard in 1835, began the study of law in his father’s office, and graduated from Harvard Law School in 1839. A Whig, Free Soiler, and Republican, he entered politics in 1840 as a delegate to the Whig Young Men’s Convention for Middlesex County and a supporter of Whig candidate William Henry Harrison. In 1840, Hoar married Caroline Downes Brooks, daughter of Concord lawyer Nathan Brooks. In 1845, he built an impressive Greek Revival house on Main Street (now 194 Main), near his parents’ home. Rockwood and Caroline Hoar had seven children. Hoar was a judge of the Court of Common Pleas from 1849 until 1855, a justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court from 1859 until 1869, United States Attorney General in the cabinet of President Grant from 1869 until 1870, and a representative in the United States Congress from 1873 until 1875. He was also a proponent of abolition. In 1859, when United States Marshal’s deputies attempted to arrest Frank Sanborn in Concord for his complicity in John Brown’s raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, Hoar issued the writ of habeas corpus that prevented them from doing so. A civic leader in Concord, Hoar no doubt encouraged Emerson’s participation in municipal affairs. He served on the School Committee, chaired the Concord Town Library Committee and the Concord Free Public Library Corporation, and was a member of the Committee on General Invitations for the town’s 1875 celebration of the centennial of the Concord Fight. (Hoar hosted distinguished guest Ulysses S. Grant at his Main Street home when the president and his cabinet came to town for the celebration.) In 1894, the year in which Patriots’ Day became a Massachusetts holiday, he delivered the April 19th address at the First Parish in Concord. Hoar traveled to Europe once, in 1847. Emerson wrote him a letter of introduction to British author, journalist, social reformer, and abolitionist Harriet Martineau.
