Cornelia E. Boardman writes to her mother Mary Anna Whiting Boardman from New York. Her sister Caroline is very comfortable but is suffering with a pain in her head an lameness that is somewhat better today; the baby is very good but for an hour or two at night; finishing the letter in haste as Mr. Blunt wants her to go to Prince St. with him to hear about wedding preparations; her school’s anniversary was today and marked by several men giving remarks; notes that her previous letter included a report of the city mission; sister asks her to buy some dried pumpkins and send them to her.
