Lydia Hosmer letters, 1830-1832.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/36087802

Letters, 1830-1832, almost exclusively from Lydia to her mother in Concord, describe her daily activities and the hard work of managing her large household, which often included many boarders. The letters tell of their arrival in Northfield, Lydia's temporary separation from her youngest child who remained in Concord for several months, Patty Hosmer's visits with them, and the illness of the family. In July 1831 the letters poignantly deal with the illness and death of their son Joseph Henry.
