| 1828 Letter from Mr. Morgan to Ebenezer FISH, Jr. Brooklyn, December 3, 1828
Sir, Your eldest daughter is sufficiently advanced in the common branches of education to commence the study of geography, a very useful and agreeable study for the youth of both sexes.
The geography I should recommend is one of Jacob Willetts' compiling being it shows an appenidice and an atlas containing seven Mapes (maps). I shall send the geography and the maps so that you
may judge for yourself of the merritts of the work. ____ in hope I shall be able to introduce it with this school it being cheap the
geography and atlas can be obtained in Cleveland for you. ___ being lower than any other of equal utility by one half. My thinking it would be a benefit to your children as the _____________ of my writing this from ___________
C. Morgan
=================================================
[NOTE: The letter writer is probably the headmaster of Brooklyn Academy and is writing Ebenezer about his eldest daughter's (Eliza Ann) progress at school and giving his recommendation for further studies. |

| 1825 Letter from Lydia Spicer to her sister Joanna Fish - Pages 1 thru 4
When Lydia was about 26 she wrote from Stonington, CT to her sister in Brooklyn, OH. She updates her sister on the well-being of many relatives and friends, the state of the religious community, the robbery of a relative, and laments being stuck in Connecticut because her husband loves the sea.
This is a transcription. The image of the actual document can be seen by looking at Lydia Stanton's individual record. |
| 1825 Mail addressing This is an example of simple addressing was in the early 19th century! Nothing more than the name (Ebenezer Fish), city, and state. Oh, and the county thrown in there just in case. |
