Scope & Content |
Letter from Orlando Brown (1801-1867) to Euphemia P. Mason (1794-1855). Writing to his cousin in New York City, an eight-year-old Orlando comments on his schoolmaster, Mr. Holroyd, and describes his little sister. Orlando also describes his own personality and how much he wants to see New York. [Transcription] Frankfort My dear Cousin Euphemia I wish to write you a letter and I am now going to try if I can do it. I go to a school to a man named Mr. Holroyd who would be a good Master if he was not a little too lazy. I am sometimes very bad and sometimes very good, but I think I would always be a Clever Fellow if I had a good school. I want to see New York very badly indeed. I wish to get acquainted with you all. Euphemia is almost two years old. She walks all about and is very funny. Give my love to all my cousins and so good bye. Orlando Brown [Address Block] B Brown Orlando Miss Euphemia P.
