Two letters from C[harlotte] B[liss] Williams to Cornelia E. Boardman, both written from New Milford. The first is addressed to New York, the second to Baltimore. THe first letter reports on events in New Milford, including their friend Harriet's funeral, and requests Cornelia to give regards to her sister (Caroline Boardman Schroeder) and brother-in-law (John Frederick Schroeder). The second letter acknowledges neglect of writing, notes having been confined to the house with a severe cold, reports that Mrs. William Starr has a daughter, gives details of various visits and gossip of romances. She also mentions that Uncle Sherman would like to resign as President of the Lyceum and asks for Cornelia's vote. She notes that the topic of discussion at the last meeting was a presentation by Henry McMahon about whether capital punishement is justifiable. He concluded that it was and provided a long "speechification."
