Womenʼs Friendship in Exile: Healing in the Epistolary Correspondence Between Zenobia Camprubí and Pilar de Zubiaurre.

The epistolary correspondence between the Spanish intellectuals Zenobia Camprubi (1887-1956) and Pilar de Zubiaurre (1884- 1970) from October 1938 to August 1956 reveals a long friendship that began in Madrid in the 1910S and continued during the exile that they, as supporters of the democratic Second Republic, both suffered after the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and the victory of dictator Francisco Franco, who ruled Spain from 1939 until his death in 1975. During exile Camprubi writes to Zubiaurre from the United States, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, while Zubiaurre responds from Mexico, where she lived the last thirty years of her life. Out of their mutual correspondence fifteen letters written by Camprubi are held in the Archives of the Museum of Fine Arts in Bilbao, Spain, while five letters written by Zubiaurre are kept in the Zenobia-Juan Ram6n Jimenez Foundation, in Huelva, Spain.1 The importance of these letters is that they illustrate the significant role that women played in exile as transmitters of information and preservers of the national culture in the communities of Spanish Republican exiles. In this chapter I argue that both Camprubi and Zubiaurre experienced a suffering and nostalgic exile and used their epistolary correspondence as a means to cope with it. Exchanging letters contributed to healing their exilic pain in three main ways: by giving and receiving information, by asking for and offering help, and by finding comfort and consolation in difficult times. Thus, both intellectuals conveyed to each other the situation of numerous mutual friends and the news they received from Spain. Letters also allowed them to ask favors of each other, for instance, offering advice on several issues and conveying messages to common friends. Finally, Camprubi and Zubiaurre found in each other\u27s letters the affection needed in hard times, as shown in the references to the importance of their friendship over others. Thus, these letters demonstrate how exiled women supported each other while being away from home and found solace through their mutual friendship

The first six chapters of the book of Ezra center around an alleged correspondence between the Persian Emporer\u27s court and the local authorities of Palestine under Persian rule. Without question, these letters were crucial to the editors of Ezra-Nehemiah. But why? What does the reproduction of this alleged official correspondence mean to the final editors of Ezra-Nehemiah

New light on Fr Magri's exploration of the Hypogeum : notes from correspondence with the British Museum

In November 1903, a century ago, the Committee of Management of the Museum proposed Father Emmanuel Magri S.J. to supervise the exploration of the Hypogeum in Paola. Dr Temi Zammit, in the Museum Annual Report for 1903 wrote: "The exploration [of the Hypogeum] is being carried on under the supervision of Father E. Magri, S.J., whose competence is unquestionable and who will undoubtedly give us a full report on the completion of the work." Unfortunately, Fr Magri died unexpectedly on 29 March, 1907, in Sfax, Tunisia where he had gone to preach spiritual exercises, and celebrate Easter. With the Report undelivered, and his notes not traced, his work seems completely lost. Magri's notes and correspondence Though very active, Magri left few publications related to archaeology. His notes have never been found, no material related to archaeology has ever been traced in Jesuit archives. But is the picture actually so bleak? Magri 's correspondence proves to be a goldmine. Several letters related to archaeology have actually been traced. Some thirty-five of them, addressed mainly to the Lieutenant Governor were found some years ago in the Palace Archives, Valletta,. These letters are now in the National Archives, in Rabat. I have retraced a new series of letters at the British Museum, eleven letters written by Fr Magri to Dr E.A. Wallis Budge, the Keeper of Assyrian and Egyptian Antiquities at the British Museum. These letters shed new light on Magri 's exploration of the hypogeum.peer-reviewe
