Handwritten letter and envelope from Jemima "Mima" Adaleen Mousseau in Grafton, Ohio to Charlotte Pilot Stanley in Cleveland, Ohio.
In the letter, dated June 22, 1934, Jemima introduces herself to Charlotte Stanley and recounts her memories from her time in the North Union Shaker Village and of the Pilot family. She describes herself as "the only one left of the three stolen Manominee [Menominee] Indian children brought one dark night to the Shaker village."
