John Porcius Gage to Grace D. Nichols, July 4[?], 1865

 Item — Box: 2, Folder: 36

Scope and Contents

Written from Vineland, Cumberland County, New Jersey. Dated "July 2 times" [4th?]. Opens "My Dear Grace." Was glad to receive a letter "from the one that seems most dear to my heart." He says he will send a new photo and urges her to return one: "Celia said you would not send it and perhaps she told the truth but I hope not." He shares a trick Celia had played on him about going on a ride with him, instead she had gone with a Mr. H. He describes the process of having a photo taken so as to have two images on the same card, and notes "They are going to have fourth of July down here in jarzey but I don't expect a very pleasant time."
