Abstract

Abby Bass Cozzens letter to Justin and Charlotte Bass Perkins in which Cozzens writes regarding Charlotte's prior illness, her son Samuel, a visit from their parents (Fidelia and William Bass), their sister Jane (Seymour), Cousin Frederick Fowler and his wife Mrs. Lockwood Clark, Sister Delia, and the deaths of Cousin Mary Ann, Uncle Fowler, Kinsman, Jane Grant, and the Perkinses' daughter (Charlotte Nisbet Perkins). Cozzens leaves the letter unsigned, and S.W.C. (Samuel Woodworth Cozzens) writes a closing paragraph explaining that his dear Abby asked him to finish as she was confined this morning with a daughter whom they will name Charlotte. Sarah Bass (later Crehore) has also written a message to Charlotte Perkins in the margins of the letter.
