| Title | Aurelia Hale to Sarah W. Hale regarding a storm |
| Date | 29 June 1832 |
| Author | Hale, Aurelia (cb. 1798) |
| Recipient | Hale, Sarah W. |
| Document Type | Correspondence |
| Content Description | Aurelia is very glad to hear that Sarah managed to avoid the storm and is still alive. She also says that the terrible storm was followed by several weeks without any rain, and they were afraid the crops would completely fail, but that thankfully there had been a lot of rain the previous week. She also mentions that though it is a "dull season," her husband, Jefferson, has been attempting to find work for Horatio, who has apparently recently married. She hopes that he made a "prudent choice" and expresses that she greatly wishes to see him. The letter has several ink stains and small tears in it, as well as the remains of a seal which obscures a small part of the letter. |
