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.

Additional Description

Container Summary

ALS (dated 7/6/1852, with envelope) to Franklin B. Sanborn from Susie Leavitt, expressing concern that she has not heard from Ariana Walker since her last visit to Boston. Reference to visit from Sanborn's friend Henry Shaw: "...I was much entertained by him; think him a quaint genius; his general appearance does not indicate his depth of mind or intellect; we talked long and much of you; and spoke of Anna (Ariana Walker) with regard to her style of writing; so peculiar; he thinks it resembles Mr. Emerson's..." Also describes a recent visit to New York with Charley and some neighbors, stopping at the West Point military academy and visiting Fort Putnam and sailing up the Hudson River to Albany. She also traveled to New Jersey and Philadelphia.
