- Containers:
- Box 1, Folder 3
- Scope and content:
-
Sleepy from a boring sermon given by Dr. Jones. Jokingly will seek to make such sermons illegal. Expresses worry about Lelia's cold. Reminds Lucy of the "hereditary weakness of the lungs in his family." Gives his impressions of Senate and role in it. Letter has literary references to The Arabian Nights. Went to see Peggy and Mrs. Botts. They have gone to Cambridge. Hasn't seen Marianna.
