JULIA WARD HOWE: THE SINGER OF A NATION'S SONG
Reading edition
We have told the story of our mother's life, possibly at too great length; but she herself told it in eight words.

She paused a moment, and replied, dwelling thoughtfully on each word:
"To learn, to teach, to serve, to enjoy!"
Life of Julia Ward Howe.
