Title:
Letter from Parentha Bodwell, Simsbury, to Amos Augustus Phelps, May 23 1827
Description:
Amos A. Phelps’s cousin, Parentha Bodwell, writes to Phelps about the dispute between Phelps’s mother and a man named Ennis, who is romantically involved with a family friend. This was caused by Phelps’s letter to Bodwell reporting certain “facts” about Ennis. Now Ennis is threatening a law suit. In a segment added later, Bodwell talks about religion and Phelps’s romantic interest.
