 TO MISS PEABODY

 

54 Pinckney St., May 19th [1842]

 

My Ownest,

 

Mr. Hillard, this morning, put into my hands the enclosed paragraph from the Philadelphia Saturday Courier. It is to be hoped that the penny papers of this city will copy an item of so much public importance.

 

Canst thou tell me whether the "Miss Peabody" here mentioned, is Miss Mary or Miss Elizabeth Peabody?

 

Thine Ownest.

 

P.S. Please to present my congratulations to the "accomplished¹ Miss Peabody." But I shall call, this evening, and present them in person.

 

Miss Sophia A. Peabody,

13 West-street,

Boston.
