1838-07-31 HOMER MICH---GREEN CDS---FROM SALLY A. WOOD AT HOMER TO HER BROTHER BENJAMIN CHURCHILL AT LITTLE FALLS NEW YORK REGARDING FAMILY, FARMING AND SCHOOL---JOHN RECEIVED A LETTER FROM JULIA AND HENRY; HARRY HAS THE MORTGAGE OF HER HOUSE; SHE PLANS TO SET UP A MILLINERY AND DRESSMAKING BUSINESS; JOHN THINKS HE CAN GET SARAH JANE OR MISS BRYAN TO HELP; JULIA MAY COME OUT NEXT SPRING; WRITES OF HER HUSBAND'S GRAVE NEARBY AND HER DECISION TO STAY IN MICHIGAN; JOHN AND LETTS HAVE HER WHEAT HARVEST; SHE HAD A LETTER FROM MARY, HER DAUGHTER'S NAME IS JULIA AUGUSTA; SHE HAS NOT HEARD FROM JACOB SINCE LAST WINTER; HER CHILDREN, SARAH ANN AND MARGARET GO TO SCHOOL; ASKS HOW THEIR CHILDREN AND CHARLOTTE HAVE DONE IN THEIR STUDIES; SHE WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR OF RACHEL WOOD'S MARRIAGE; ASKS TO HAVE SOME ITEMS SENT BACK WHEN JOHN VISITS; PLANS TO ASK MR. WOOD TO GET A SET OF GRAVESTONES FOR ISAIAH'S GRAVE; DAVID HAS BEEN THROUGH HER LATE HUSBAND'S CLOTHES; DAVID'S FAMILY IS WELL AND TELL MR. WOOD THEY CALL THEIR SON JOHN; ASK MRS. WOOD TO SEND SOME DRIED FRUIT FOR DAVID---"I WAS RATHER SURPRISED THAT RACHEL WOODS SHOULD MARRY AS SHE IS IN HER 50TH YEAR, BUT MORE SO IN THE CHOICE SHE MADE OF A COMPANION; HE WAS ANXIOUS TO OBTAIN HER FOR HIS FIRST WIFE BUT THEN SHE REJECTED HIM WITH DISDAIN. QUERY HOW MUCH BETTER IS HE NOW WITH SEVEN CHILDREN THAN HE WAS THEN WITHOUT ANY? BUT I SEE THEN THERE IS NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE. I HOPE THOSE ELDERLY MISSES THAT ARE LEFT WILL BE MORE NOBLE MINDED, AND NOT BE SO ANXIOUS FOR A FAMILY AS TO OBTAIN ONE THAT WAY."---8 PGS---GENEALOGY---PRIVATELY OWNED—COURTESY OF CRAIG A.
