Abstract
Through an examination of the letters of Robert Holye to his wife Eliza Nye Hoyle, this article provides a glimpse into the private world of a yeoman farmer who settled in Lacolle, Lower Canada, after the War of 1812. The letters relate details of his life away from home; his views on the economy, marriage, children and education; and some of the experiences of the kin, friends and neighbours who surround and support his family. This evidence suggests that the private and public spheres were not separate in pre-industrial Lower Canada. Family and domestic concerns were the province of husbands as well as wives. The author, therefore, argues that the diaries and correspondence of men should not be neglected in the study of the family and the household economy in this period. L'examen des lettres de Robert Hoyle a son epouse Eliza Hoyle fournit un apercu de la vie privee d'un exploitant agricole venu s'installer a Lacolle, dans le Bas-Canada, apres la Guerre de 1812. Il y expose les details de sa vie loin du foyer; ses vues sur l'economie, le mariage, les enfants et l'education; ainsi que certaines experiences vecues par les parents, amis, et voisins qui entourent et soutiennent sa famille. Il est manifeste, a la lumiere de ces temoignages, qu'il n'y avait aucune distinction entre la sphere publique et la vie privee dans la societe pre-industrielle du Bas-Canada. Tous les problemes de la famille etaient du ressort du mari autant que de la femme; aussi, precise l'auteure de cet article, on aurait tort de negliger la correspondance et les journaux intimes rediges par des hommes quand on etudie la vie familiale et l'economie domestique d'alors.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
