Halsted, Nancy Marsh, 1817-1891
Language:
English.
Scope and content:

A.L.S. Dover. Pained to learn of misunderstandings in the Association. Mrs. Comegys advised Regent to retire for the present. The superintendency of Mount Vernon is becoming too arduous and exacting for one in her delicate health and with her extremely sensitive nature. But care should be made so as not to hurt her, "but for her efforts...there never would have been any such institution...nor any such distinguished body" as the MVLA. Note attached from Mrs. Comegys to Mrs. Halsted suggesting Judge Comegys' letter be shown to the Regent. ER-8, p. 215
