John Porcius Gage to Grace D. Nichols, November 10, 1865

 Item — Box: 2, Folder: 39

Scope and Contents

Written from Lambertville, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Opens "Dear Grace." Describes another visit to Vineland, where he saw Celia and had gone on a ride with her to visit her friend Lizzie Laurence. He reports on the recent elections in New Jersey, noting "Copperhead stock is below par. The gentlemen of the democratic party dont have much to say about politics. I dont blame them myself. Would do the same if my party had got used the ways theirs has." The second sheet of this letter seems as though it may be mismatched: he refers to a flower, his parents being out west, and that the weather looks to be very hot; he also requests her photo again. Envelope postmarked at Lambertville, November 11. Addressed to "Miss Grace D. Nichols, Rockland, Maine."
