Abstract
A letter to Mary Hitchcock in New Lebanon Springs, New York in which Edward Hitchcock writes about Mary undergoing "hydropathic treatment" and discusses some of his recent travels and potential travel plans. Orra White Hitchcock describes in detail a cactus plant of Mary's that is blooming and the hot weather and severe drought in Amherst. She shares some neighborhood news, and mentions a party the Hitchcocks attended at the home of James Kellogg. Orra goes on to also describe a visit she and Edward had from an Ojibwa couple, who attended chapel with them in the morning. In the afternoon the husband of the couple, Cawshawgance, lectured on temperance.
