Abby Hopper Gibbons letter to Sarah Hopper Gibbons Emerson
Discusses travelling to Albany to receive government funding for her charities, the Infant Asylum and The Home (later the Isaac T. Hopper Home). Mentions aid from Joseph Choate. Less money was awarded to The Home, as the House Speaker did not have faith in "so called" sinners. Of the women associated with The Home, she says she will "stand by them long as I live." Discusses her daughter Julia's active involvement in the Diet Kitchen. Discusses recent news concerning family/friends. James B. Thayer wrote her to announce the birth of another daughter.
