The transcript describes a modest, loose-fitting garment with unique features, worn by a woman from Amherst, Massachusetts, born in 1830. Known as an eccentric, she lived a reclusive life. The transcript then introduces the mythic character of Amherst, a woman dressed in white with a brilliant mind, whose poetry gained fame posthumously.
