Abstract
A letter to Edward Hitchcock, Jr. in which Orra White Hitchcock writes primarily about a meeting of the Teachers' Institute, which kept her very busy the previous week. She tells her son the institute was the largest of its kind held in Massachusetts, with 375 regular members and that the Hitchcocks hosted Dr. [Barnas] Sears, Professor [Louis] Agassiz, and Professor [Arnold Henry] Guyot, all of whom taught or lectured at the institute. She mentions additional instructors at the institute, Professor [J.W., likely William J.] Whitaker and Mr. [George W.] Pratt, who taught drawing and music, respectively. Orra goes on to report on her husband Edward's health and her son Charles' mending arm, among other things.
