Abstract
A letter from Edward and Orra White Hitchcock to their children, addressed to their daughter Mary Hitchcock. Edward Hitchcock writes of their experiences in Maine, both in Wells Beach and in Newburyport. He complains of the cold weather noting that he has "put on all the winter clothes" he brought along but still cannot get warm. He requests they send copies of pamphlets relating to the new cabinet and observatory of Amherst College, both to him and some other people mentioned. Orra writes that she is glad of cooler weather and describes an excursion to Plum Island and "the greatest frolic you could imagine" in the water. She also mentions her wish to collect some seaweed specimens to bring home.
