ROSE HARTWICK THORPE
The poet signs a short note saying "I wish I could see you once
more, but fear I never will."
Autograph Note signed: "Rose H. Thorpe", 1 page, 5¼x2¼. In
full: "I hope you are well and happy this Happy time of the year. I wish
I could see you once more, but fear I never will. With all the love of loving
heart." Rose Hartwick Thorpe (1850-1939) was born in Mishawaka, Indiana.
She is most famous for a poem she wrote in 1867, "The Curfew Must Not Ring
Tonight." This poem, about a woman who prevents a bell from tolling until
her imprisoned lover can receive a pardon from Oliver Cromwell, was said to be a
favorite of Queen Victoria. It was put to music, and three silent films were
based upon it. Lightly frayed at top edge. Otherwise, fine condition.
