- Description:
- Letter dated August 16, 1820 addressed to Roswell King Jr at Warm Springs, North Carolina, from "Eliza" at Greenville, S.C. Much of letter quite torn. Regrets to hear recipient's "old companion" has returned and hopes will return to better health soon. Gossip about visitors and social events. Asks if recipient has heard from Barrington [King], and mentions she would not be surprised if he and Anna Page bring home a suit of wedding clothes. Mentions infant named George, apparently her child.
