Title: Letter, July 9, 18__, S. A. Richards, Cape May, to Ellen Call Long, 4 pp., regarding her daughter Sarah's wedding, the death of her daughter Louisa, and other family matters: "I am left without a daughter, and my house is solitary. Ben I hope will remain with me. . . I was glad to come to Cape May for a change of place and association, as well as for a change of air -- which was very necessary as the city was excessively warm. I am with my Father and several of the family, and find the change very beneficial. I wrote to you whilst in Florida, but from what your father said, I fear you never received my letters. Nothing . . . prevented my visiting you but dear Lou's illness. . . she was only confined to her room about three days . . . her end was peace. . . Selina is still living in Jersey City and I think rather prefers it to New York now. . . I must not forget to tell you that I have two grandchildren . . ."
