Description
An account of the resource
Elizabeth is updating Frederic on the family’s activities, health, and town news. She specifically notes his father’s slow recovery and hopes that Frederic’s return will restore their father’s health. Elizabeth also mentions the excitement surrounding the new minister, Mr. Ellis, and looks forward to his next sermon. In addition to Frederic, Sarah Phelps is expected to arrive in a couple weeks. Throughout the letter she mentions the restoring power of the outdoors and points to occasions where she has experienced such positive energy. She asks Frederic to procure her publications and writing paper and is disappointed that he will not be preaching in Hadley. She ends her letter with a blessing to Frederic and Mrs. Sargent conveying her love and sincerity.
