- Half-folded handwritten letter sent by Anna Wilson to her brother concerning dampness in their home, a troublesome child, and recent deaths and marriages. The letter reads: St. Nicholas Hotel [?] 12 ch 11ch 1873 My dear brother Thy letter mailed yesterday ([?]) is just received, & I am glad to hear from you all, as well as about the Ceecieners[?] mother, that the [?] was safe, & the house & [?]. I have felt concerned about the dampness inside house & among the things, [?] how it creeps in in ground floors. I wrote last evening & requested Benja[?] to right up the sewing machine & put sticks under the boxes & trunks. If they could all be put up stairs, I would be glad. That is the trunks, boxes & beds. Suppose one box is too big to go up, perhaps, both of the large ones, if they could be raised up a few inches from the floor it would make a good deal of difference. I have no idea of going into any such minutia about the insurance. Perhaps it will be as well to leave it awhile. I have talked a little with insurance men here, & will [?]. [?] have been pretty comfortable to day. We undertook to have a [?] with [?] Underhill & M. [?] set up his authority in good [?] M.L. [?] turned down, did not even threaten to throw things at M.U. as he does sometimes. It is just what he needs, some one to exercise authority over him for he has become like a foolish child. We rode rough shode [?] when he was small, now he things he can do so with double clogs. M.U. was [?] afraid of him for a while, but now he is getting the upper hand. He is a faithful nurse & care taker. He gets almost discouraged sometimes, & I do remember[?], he said yesterday he believed if ever a man was pressured with a [?] Moses Sutton was at times. It does really seem so. Of course it is his own evil speech, uncontrolled by reason, &, as thee says, I do [?] think he is responsible for what he says & does in these moods. But it is sorrowful to see them. Lo[?] Joseph Gibbons has "entered into rest," or [?]. I thought when saw him last summer at sister Sarah's that his race seemed nearly run. My thoughts have been much in Detroit today with the grieved Episcopalians while attending the funeral of their beloved Bishop Armitage. I was shocked to see the notice of his death in the paper [?] 2[?] day morning, he died here in this city, when he had come to have a surgical operation performed. You will probably see an account of it in the Detroit papers. He built up St. John's Church in Detroit, from the beginning to a large & flourishing congregation. The last time I attended church before I left, was to hear him, as since he had been Bishop of Wisconsin, he was rarely there. And now Professor Agassiz is lying very low! And in eloquent Sybil Jones too passed away in the [?] of this month. Is the monthly meeting here in the 3[?], a friend gave a very touching account of a call made in her a few days before, of her beautiful expressions of [?] as she drew near "the River!" I shall think of Edward with you next 1[?] day, as a postal received from Sarah today informed. She also reported Sister Abbey's safe arrival there yesterday morning. Abby[?] will go West this minute, so she said. She has so much to look after, his niece to be married soon, Rebecca [?] whose father & mother both died earlier this year. I seems town & [?] have a royal example for furthering their marriage, as I see that of the Duke of Edinburgh & the Russian Princess s to be [?] late February. I hope they will all have a good time. As for Charlie's situation, I am inclined to think he would make [?] as well with [?] as [?]. Given[?] the farmer would be the rightest[?], as [?] L.L. Menilt said the [?] did the [?] farming. I am deeply obliged to thee for thy care of my business , [?] looking after my things. A fire will be a good thing, only don't burn the shanty down. It seems nice to be so social. Much love to all from Anne. I never can think to say anything about Birdie, wish I had the little fellow here, but [?] better off where he is if Anna does not get tired of caring for her, [?] he's gone to school, who cares for item? Minnie? Anne
