Lucretia Mott letter to her children and grandchildren
Description
Likely sent to specifically to Martha Mott Lord and Lord's family, who relocated from Lucretia Mott's house in Cheltenham to New York City in October of 1863. Mott gives news of a recent visit to see her cousins Rebecca Bunker Chase, Caroline Chase Stratton, and others in Mount Holly, New Jersey. Laura Stratton (Caroline's daughter) is soon to marry Fitzhugh Birney, and Caroline is making plans to move to Germantown. Most of the letter describes Mott's shopping for furniture, dishes, etc. in Philadelphia.
