Broadus, Maria Carter, ca. 1830-1857. [Letters to "my dear husband," John A. Broadus in New York] 1856 Dec., University of Virginia / M.C. Broadus.

Title: [Letters to "my dear husband," John A. Broadus in New York] 1856 Dec., University of Virginia / M.C. Broadus. 1856.

Dec. 4. "I was greatly comforted by receiving another letter from you today, as I always find it so hard to get along without you. You cannot expect me to write every day, for I really cannot get the time. Here I am, just returned home with the same old pain in my head, and back. Of course, I can write but a few lines as these present pains are almost entirely the result of want of sleep, and taking no exercise. I want to go to town very much to see about a stove. The dining-room is worse even than the one we had up stairs. [folder 1/22]." Dec. 6. Maria bought a stove: "I hope you will not think I am trying to be independent but I acted upon the very best judgment I could make. The stove he says is first-rate and sold at almost no profit, to Mr. Broadus, for $12. I shall think of you tomorrow, and pray that you may preach and the people may hear with more than mere curious interest [folder 1/22]."
