| Title | Horatio Hale to Sarah W. Hale regarding her health |
| Date | 25 June 1825 |
| Author | Hale, Horatio (fl. 1821-1826) |
| Recipient | Hale, Sarah W. |
| Document Type | Correspondence |
| Content Description | This letter is from Horatio Hale to his sister Sarah, written from Brazil. In the letter, he refers several time to Sarah's health, advising her to show "a degree of fortitude beyond most of your sex," because he thinks that positive thinking has a stronger effect on disease than any medicine does. He also talks briefly about their family, before going on to talk about women in Brazil in general and his wife in particular, who apparently favors American styles. The letter is crumbling along the lines where the letter was at one point folded. |
