- Abstract:
- Seven ALS, written by nieces and nephews in Illinois to Blanding and his sister Mrs. Lucy Carpenter. The letters are from Labelle Prairie, Kirkwood, Retreat (on the Fox River), and Mill Brook Farm near Newark. E.L. Bullard writes about prairie fires, farming, attacks of "fever and ague," and acknowledges that she would not have moved to Illinois had she known the hardships she would encounter there. Other letters contain family news and refer to the severe winter of 1848-1849.
