1845.05.20 - Elizabeth Huntington to Frederic Dan Huntington, May 20th, 1845

This is a letter to Frederic written by his mother. The letter is mostly just checking in with her son to see how he is doing, but there are some instances of substance. In the beginning of the letter, his mom talks about how she is glad that they have been writing so much, and that she thinks there is a funny coincidence that they generally write at the same time. She goes on to mention how some members of her family have been sick, and that she knows of a treatment that could be beneficial to his health. She continues by talking about how some of her family and friends are doing. Towards the end of the letter, she talks about God and how Frederic should keep being spiritual and allowing God in his life.
