To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their dress was another matter held of great importance. Cotton was largely the product of slave labour, and wool came from robbing the sheep, so linen was as far as possible to form the material of their gar- ments. One cannot help but wonder how men with any common sense could dream of living through our New England year 19 clad in linen. While summer and summer warmth lasted, many deprivations could be overlooked, though even then Mrs. Alcott's shoulders must have found heavy burdens for the...ir upholding. The rest might be seeking the All- soul; but to her fell the task, often almost beyond her powers, of providing for their physical needs, which even with their high philosophy could not be wholly overlooked.
The education of the children was not neglected. Miss Page gave them music les- sons ; and Louisa frankly declares she hated the lady, she was "so fussy." From their father and Mr. Lane they had instruction in various branches. Louisa in her diary tells of things pleasant and the reverse ; how she tried to be good, and how she failed ; of a visit from Parker Pillsbury, and his talk about the poor slaves ; of their dinners of bread and fruit; how they played in the woods and were fairies, and how she "flied" the highest of all ; and of a corn -husking in the barn, with the somewhat unusual inci- dent, if one may judge by its being recorded, that they had lamps.
