Contains ALS from Clarissa Rebecca Ord (also known as "Kitty") to her siblings "Jiminez" (probably Placidus Andre) and "sister" (not identified in letter)*. Concerns the wedding arrangements of a relative in Saginaw, from where she was writing while visiting with her "Uncle Peter" [Andre, presumably]. @ * The nicknames "Jimmy" and "Jimenez" applied to James Cresap Ord and to his younger brother Placidus Andre Ord, respectively.
