Date Note
This letter is undated, but based on what Orra writes about a wedding in Prescott and a man named Harrison, it is believed this letter dates between 1851 and 1853, since the Harrison referred to is likely George Harrison Newhall, who was wed in 1851 to a woman from Prescott, Massachusetts, and who died in 1853.
