dc.description.abstractThe collection consists of five letters. One letter is addressed to Miss H. [Hannah] Rogers, care of H.B. Rogers, Niagara Falls. It is dated at Boston, July 15, 1828 and is from Mrs. Upham. Mrs. Upham writes that she received a letter from Mrs. Pearson and Hannah’s mother noting that they were very happy and well at Hampton Beach, and how agreeable they find everything. She relays more news about common friends and acquaintances. The writer also notes that poor Edward Emerson is in the insane hospital as a maniac and is painfully conscious of his situation. It is said he had crowded into 2 years the studies of 10. He has a complaint in the heart that must soon terminate his existence. It is the most melancholy case she has ever known. Another letter is signed “Hannah” and is addressed to Mrs. Elizabeth Livermore, Keene, N.H. The letter is addressed at Littleton, December 29, 1843. She writes about the death of Amelia, who left behind a six-month-old daughter, an update about Mr. White and his parish, and news of other friends and acquaintances. The remaining three letters are not signed. One is dated at Boston, June 26, 1851 and is addressed to “my dear friends” from J. Pecham[?]. The writer notes that the excursion came off very well and thanks the recipient for her many kindnesses. The writer also hopes that they will keep the Niagara excursion in view and be laying their plans accordingly, and have a large number of their friends do the same. Another letter is addressed to Pamelia from Eliza and is dated at Staten Island, February 15, 1863. An envelope with a stamp is included. She writes about friends and acquaintances, the weather, and her activities. The remaining letter has no date and is not signed. The front reads “Letters from J.L.P. to S.A.P”. The reverse side contains notes about the qualities the writer was looking for in a house.en_US
