Title

Samuel Chew to Anna Maria Frisby Chew, undated

Description

Letter from Samuel Chew to Anna Maria Frisby Chew, expressing concern over a pain in her side, asking that she send word "by express" should she become indisposed. Continues by stating that "Longfellow wrote me word he intended to kill his hogs on Tuesday. I take for granted as he will expect the cart up on Tuesday that he will want orders." Tells her to send up two bushels of his brother's coarse salt, then goes into great detail of how the hogs should be butchered, preserved, and the meat distributed.
