| Abstract | Susan F. Shedd letter to Justin Perkins in which Shedd writes regarding her recent visit with Justin's wife (Charlotte Bass Perkins) at the Asylum. She notes that Charlotte was pleased to see her, that she updated Charlotte on news of their friends, and that they talked of the bible and prayer. She shares their conversation regarding Mr. Richardson. Shedd says she has never seen Charlotte so happy "yet she bears the same marks of insanity as when she entered." She notes Charlotte's response to her asking if Henry's departure would cause her sorrow and writes positively of Dr. Tyler. She also writes about a call from Dr. Young, her own health, and her wandering son. |
