Letter headed "Catawba July 26th 1839" and mailed in Fincastle from Emma Breckinridge to her husband Cary, Russell Court House, Virginia, answering a letter from him saying his trip will be extended to Kentucky. News from home: the family, James eruption, visitors who have stayed with Emma, and her uneasiness that she will be alone for three weeks or more. She writes of the farm operations, Cary's dogs, problems with the carriage and needing another horse to match one they currently have. George has left the Springs and gone to Hot Springs, the Anthony's are returning to Buchanan next week, and visiting someone named Deborah at Dibrell's Springs. |
