Editorial Note

Sunday evening was August 11; Anna Watson Seward refers to this letter in hers of August 13.
Sunday
Evening
My dear Mother.
I have
seen a very nice woman
Unknown

who is anxious to live
with us, & from all I
hear of her she is honest,
good tempered & capable.
She is highly recommended
by Mrs Douglas
Birth: 1835 Death: 1899-01-26
, Mrs Wood
Birth: 1811-04-09 Death: 1875-12-02

& Mrs Taylor
Birth: 1809-11-17 Death: 1887-01-15
.
She has just left Mrs
Douglas where she did
the chamber work and
sewing. They say she

can do up muslins, and
is a good house-keeper.
She had $10. a month at
Mrs Douglas’.
What do you hear of
you like Eliza to go
home immediately?–
I will send her when-
ever you say so.
We are all well.
Affectionately your
daughter. Anna.
