ms number768616
abstractSecutor writes to Wheelock for direction about her promise to marry Hezekiah Calvin, which she is reconsidering.
handwritingHandwriting is uneven, yet formal and mostly legible. On one verso, Wheelock's hand is informal and difficult to decipher. The trailer is in a third, unknown hand.
paperSingle small sheet is in good condition, with light staining, creasing and wear.
inkBrown inks vary in intensity.
noteworthyOn one verso, an addition in Wheelock's hand is possibly notes for a sermon. Within these notes, it is uncertain as to what is Wheelock's intention regarding the word "Souce," and so it has been left unmodified in the modernized transcription.
Modernized Version Deletions removed; additions added in; modern spelling and capitalization added; unfamiliar abbreviations expanded.
