| Title | Aurelia Hale to Sarah W. Hale regarding a planned visit to the north |
| Date | 4 March 1833 |
| Author | Hale, Aurelia (cb. 1798) |
| Recipient | Hale, Sarah W. |
| Document Type | Correspondence |
| Content Description | She mentions that she is sending the letter along with one she has written to Horatio. She is planning to visit the North, and says that she will be bringing as little as possible because the fashions might be different than those in the South. She says that she is not dreading the "fatigues of the journey" because they are preferable to all the storms the area has been experiencing, including tornados. She also includes an update about her daughter Sarah as well as some of the people her sister presumably met when she visited, including some of her slaves as well as some of her friends. A small piece of the letter has been torn away by the seal. |
