The letters of Dorothy Percy Sidney, Countess of Leicester, dating predominantly from about 1636 until 1643, cover a wide range of issues and vividly illustrate her centrality to her illustrious family's personal and public affairs. These c.100 letters are here for the first time fully transcribed and edited. The edition includes a biographical and historical introduction, setting the context of the Sidneys' family and political activities at the time of Dorothy's marriage to Robert in 1615 and then tracing the major events and involvements of her life until her death in 1659. A key to the cipher used in the letters to disguise identities of individuals is also supplied. Following the introduction is the complete text of each of Dorothy Percy Sidney's letters to her husband, Robert, second Earl of Leicester, and to and from William Hawkins, the Sidney family solicitor, along with several others, including letters from Dorothy to Archbishop Laud and the Earl of Holland. Her husband's account of her last moments in 1659, and testamentary directions relating to her will, are also included. The letters are arranged in chronological order and supported by a series of footnotes that elucidate their historical context and briefly to identify key individuals, places, political issues and personal concerns. These notes are further supported by selective quotations from Dorothy's incoming correspondence and other related letters and documents. A glossary supplies more detailed information on 'Persons and Places.' Dorothy Percy Sidney's letters eloquently convey how, even with her undoubted personal potency and shrewd intelligence, the multifaceted roles expected of an able and determined aristocratic early modern Englishwoman-especially when her husband was occupied abroad on official business-were intensely demanding and testing.

Letters Home, Time and Again: The Coming of Age of a Modern Woman a Century Ago - Dorothy Hedges Original Letters
She was born July 19, 1894 and died August 20, 1918. After a long illness her end came swiftly, and tragically. She had proved to have the smarts, moxie and determination to make the most of what life had to offer but her life was cut short at 26 years by diseases that modern medicine most likely would have cured. Her name was Dorothy Hedges and she was the oldest daughter of William Huntting Hedges, the fourth Keeper of Hereford Inlet Lighthouse, Anglesea, NJ. In 2012 I inherited several boxes of family records, personal letters, and pictures. These had been stored away in attics for almost a century, untouched - their contents remaining in pristine condition as I found out when I finally opened them in November 2016. Included was a formidable collection of professionally taken photos of kin presumably, with faces familiar in chin and eyes. Frustratingly, there were few names written anywhere front or back, folks then certainly knew who they were seeing, so why bother putting a name to a face, a place or a relation. The context was provided by what I found carefully saved in a small decorative box. Inside were over 60 letters, written by Dorothy to her mother, sisters (among them my grandmother) and friends, describing her exploits as a modern young woman experiencing college and career. Reading these letters was like being transported back in time - an experience I hadn't expected but had found so appealing and palpable I felt compelled to share them. I began researching in earnest to expand the context around these letters and connect the various references to people, places and things. Strangely, Dorothy had mentioned her father only twice in all these letters and then when she did, it raised more questions - "I wrote Papa yesterday and told him I expected to be home next week. I said I did not know which day but you would probably come for me anytime from Wed. on. I said I was sorry not to see him when he was home before but that the girls said something about his coming again soon so I ought to be there then. Was that all right?." Where was he? Why was he not home? What was he doing? "Was that all right?" Family lore was painfully void of answers beyond William's estrangement from first wife and family in 1906. He literally disappeared from mention. The answers begrudgingly emerged.
