AI Notes
A single manuscript sheet continuing the letter. The writer describes the wedding plans (cake and wine, bridesmaids and groomsmen, then a train to Florida and housekeeping in a flat on Broad St. furnished with family-given silver and linen), notes Huger’s daughter Marguerite, Annie’s recovery and her five-week-old baby, James attending the Crafts School next door with Harriett Frost as his teacher (he prefers his old Kindergarten and his teacher Miss Harriete), and remarks that Huger Jr. still ‘looks like Maimie about the brow.’ Likely a continuation of the November 22, 1876 letter.
