Letter, from "sister Carrie", and probably addressed to "Edie." Part of the letter appears to be missing, since there is no introduction, and one side of the paper is numbered 2, while the other side is not directly related. The letter discusses personal matters, weather, and gossip. On the back is a small family tree of the Whitney family, many of whom were knighted in the 1500's and 1600's. One branch of the family immigrated to Watertown, Mass with the Puritans. It is not clear whether this family is related to the author or how. 1968.2.9 contains a more extensive family tree of the Whitney's.
