Title: Letter, December 30, 1876, C[arrie] M. Brevard, Cleveland Springs, North Carolina, to her mother Mary Call Brevard, care of General Brevard, Tallahassee, 10 pp. (2 pages missing: p. 5 and 6), regarding various family matters: "I am so glad the children had a nice time Christmas . . . we were going to spend Christmas in Shelby, but it snowed so hard that it was almost impossible to go out, so we had a very quiet time at home. . . I thought of you all at home together, and I felt so lonely . . . can't you come here next Summer with all the children? The tickets would only cost 50$ for Jennie and Elsie could come for half price, and you wouldn't have to pay for Ephy at all. . . If you are afraid to leave Papa and he can't leave his business send me 25$ and I can go home and take care of him and keep house. . . I am coming to 'years of discretion' and can take care of myself and him too. I love him too, more than he has any idea of, because I was always afraid of him and afraid to show my affection. . ."
