Elizabeth Huntington to Frederic Dan Huntington, Sabbath evening near 11

Elizabeth Huntington to Frederic Dan Huntington, Sabbath evening near 11

Elizabeth is writing to Frederic, his son, so as to keep in touch. She expresses her joy in seeing her husband write letters to the children. She goes on to request Frederic to send in clothes that need mending and accept the pair of socks that she sends him. She enquires whether Frederic might be willing to sell his sun hat and if he does, for how much. She assures him that should he pay for the silk dress, he would be reimbursed promptly.
She expresses her gratitude to Frederic for always sending the publications to her. She elicits the fact that Hannah, who had passed on, was still in their memory. She promises to always pray for her son and requests that he prays for her.
