Scope and Contents
1877 April 18 (Marblehead) Priscilla relates she drags through the day, John goes to work in Salem but feels he has no one to work for and wishes he could just go to bed and not wake up, asks why couldn’t dear Alice be spared. Maria Knights death is another sad case (she miscarried) and left three small children. Rebecca’s house is rented again for the summer, the portraits are still there. Money seems like a present.
