Title
1831.11.29 - Elizabeth Huntington to John Huntington, Nov. 29th, 1831
Description
This is a letter from mother to child, where Elizabeth updates her son John of her husband’s hopefully growing interests in becoming a preacher. She also informs him of different family matters, including who is visiting, and relays the contents of letters from other family members. Lastly, Elizabeth alludes to a broken little society and the prospective formation of a new one (of this, I assume she is referring to town community gatherings, perhaps for select people). Elizabeth makes many religious references, referring to the power God has over their lives.
