Series-level Scope and Content Note

From the Series:

Please note that correspondents often mention acquaintances or other individuals but will not provide their complete names. When known, the full name is given in parentheses. Also, in the case of the Clarke family, one A.K. Clark signs her name without the 'e' although it is likely that she is a member of the Clarke family. She also cites (her husband?) inconsistently as 'Mr. Clark' or 'Mr. Clarke.' Descriptions for each letter will use the spelling that the correspondent has used.

ALS (dated 4/3/1856, with envelope) to Franklin B. Sanborn from Sarah Cram. References include: Sanborn's trip to New York; Jacob's school vacation; Charles in Boston; John Shepard and wife Lizzie Knight about whom Sarah Cram comments: "...I think she is very unwise to be married so young - she is a pleasing young lady with a pretty face and considerable intelligence - but she needs to have a few more years of maidenhood before assuming the responsibilities of a wife - however I may countenance the marriage so much as to go to the wedding if I have an invitation!..."; visit from Mr. Bridge who seems depressed by domestic troubles; and news of various other friends and relatives.
