Scope & Content |
Letter without heading from an unknown friend to Emma W. Breckinridge at Fincastle in Botetourt County with an illegible return address. The year is assumed to be 1831 as the writer comments on names of houses that Emma has mentioned and says she prefers the name Keelonah. Other letters suggest that by September 29, 1831, Emma and her husband were building a new home which was ultimately called Catawba. Most of this letter concerns the health of the writer which was not good. |
