Title: Letter, October 27, 1871, John Stockton Littell, Wilmington, to Carrie Brevard, 4 pp., regarding the depressing weather, Nonie's return to school in New York the previous month, and other family and social matters: "I did not tarry long in New York, although it was very pleasant there. I saw some of your Mother's relatives from Nashville, who were very agreeable. At the great Fifth Avenue Hotel, where I met them and where I lodged, I met Mrs. Winthrop, and Mr. John Winthrop, and had a charming time. . . Nonie writes to me that she is 'hard at work.' While here she spoke often, and lovingly of you, and of all your family. I hope Theodore the second, whose shadow can never be less, continues to increase in stature - the wisdom and knowledge will come in the course of time. And I hope pugnacious little Alice does not force Jennie to practice the game of Cat and Dog, as often as formerly. . . I hope that you and Call will try hard to be at the head of Miss Bythewood's school. . . Last week I sent, to your dear Mamma, some verses I wrote about the Whip-poor-Will . . . In copying them into a book . . . I made the verses better than those I sent, and added a stanza. Give the enclosed to your Mamma . . ."
