“ ALDRICH, Miss Susanna Valentine, author, born in Hopkinton, Mass., 14th November, SUSANNA VALENTINE ALDRICH. 1828. She is the only child of Willard and Lucy (Morse) Aldrich. From her earliest years she showed that fondness for putting her thoughts on paper which seems to be the unerring indication of the possession of literary talents. When other children were satisfied with dolls and playthings, the little Susan was always asking for paper and pencil to use in "writing letters, as she then called her work. ”
