Ellen M. Patrick letter to Martha Schofield
Title:
Ellen M. Patrick letter to Martha Schofield
Description:
Ellen M. Patrick expresses concern that Martha Schofield is not taking any medication for her "lung difficulty" and describes an article she recently read about a man who died of tuberculosis. She is writing on her 27th birthday and reflects on growing older. She mentions "Edward" and his school, which is likely a reference to Edward Willets and his school in Harrison, New York, where Schofield was a teacher from 1858 to 1859.
