Abstract
A manuscript copy by an unknown transcriber of a note to Charissa Hitchcock (sister of Edward Hitchcock) from residents of the town of Deerfield that accompanied the gift of a gown, presumably around the time of her marriage and departure from Deerfield. Those who presented Charissa with the gown were Ep. Sheldon, Christopher T. Arms, Joseph Stebbins, Jr., Sam. Clesson, John Hawks, John Dwight, and Rhodolphus Dickinson. Charissa Hitchcock's reply is also transcribed, in which she thanks the men for the gift and wishes them prosperity and happiness. Writing at the top of the document indicates it is a copy of a manuscript in Memorial Hall, Deerfield, Massachusetts.
