Abstract:
Mentions “Mrs. Johnson’s giving up her ‘lover.’” Discusses marriages, including Sister Elvira marrying a man and moving to California. Jests about her new “teaching” job (i.e. her recent marriage), pleased at not having to use “the rod of correction yet” but requires long hours. Hopes the recipient has a good school, “for I feel quite an interest in the welfare of the schollars in that district, I labored so long with & for them.” Written on illustrated “CHICAGO FROM THE LAKE” stationery, featuring a print of the city of Chicago, the lake shore with figures along the beach, and ships docked and in the water.
