| Title | Nat to her brother regarding their correspondence and her home life |
| Date | n.d. |
| Document Type | Correspondence |
| Content Description | Letter is signed by "Nat." Is sorry for not having written to him as letter writing isn't the writer's "business;" and the writer has had many "domestic duties" to attend to. Writes that despite this the writer and their family think, discuss, and pray for him daily. The writer's son was delighted with the letter he sent to him and is currently writing a response. Asks if he has heard from Milt. Also wants to know what he thinks of Georgia. Wants to know if he sees the "better class of society of the peculiar institution." Thinks that he will be visiting his loved ones soon. |
