Handwritten letter dated Sunday Evening with no year date from Andrew Leonard Emerson to his brother Edward Octavius Emerson in South Berwick, Maine. In this letter Leonard mentions that Edward should give his love to Charles and George and Henry. Edward's son Charles was born in 1864, so this letter was probably written late 1860s, early 1870s. Transcription: Sunday Eveinng Dear Brother, As I have an opportunity I thought a few lines might be acceptable. I have not shot any thing since you have been gone. I am going to try to persuade Father to let me keep a dog, wich[sic] I hope he will. Mary and Connie Hayes are here making a visit. I suppose you know and I find they are very find girls. Thy[sic] fuly[sic] answered my expectations. When you write me next I expect a good long letter and I want you to write me all about the boys. Give my love to Charles and George and Henry. Your ever loving brother, Lent. [on the back] Edward O. Emerson Esq. South Berwick |
