Emily Howland letter to Hannah Letchworth Howland
Title:
Emily Howland letter to Hannah Letchworth Howland
Description:
Addressed to her sister-in-law. Does not object to the piece on Cornell that was published in the Woman's Journal, even if it contains some errors. Sorry about Hussey's condition and had been afraid that her spending on the house would make things difficult for her. Wishes that she had retired last year so that they could have hired Theo C. to head the school. Hussey needs a year's rest. Thinks that there are opportunities for boarders at Sherwood but people are not willing to pay what it is worth. If Sarah Jacobs is not going to stay all winter, the house should be closed.

Addresed to her sister-in-law. Arrived in Venice from Vienna. The poverty is oppressive. The girls who make lace only earn ten cents a day.

Advised Theodosia to fufill her engagement to the school; she feels that like "other smart women she is going to marry her inferior." Belle (Isabel Howland) seems determined to return with Edith (Edith Howland) and not to go to Spain. Would like to send Sidney (Sidney Taliaferro Boyer) some money to furnish her parlor as an example of good housekeeping to those around her.
