Description

This is a letter with an unknown date from Mother Rebecca Hubbard Wetmore to Lucy Gray in Benicia. The mother writes mainly about her daughter's and her own health. She sounds like she is preparing for her daughters death. We know that the year the letter was written was after 12/01/1877 and before 11/30/1878 which is when Rebecca was 82 years old. We also know that it is in the Spring because of the reference to Valentine's Day and a cousin who was buried March 1st. This makes the year 1878 in the Spring.
