Mary Silsbee to Benjamin, Mary and Hannah Silsbee, 1842 Jul 9

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 44

Scope and Contents

From M. Silsbee at Calais. S. has gone on a ride to Machias for a visit. His symptoms are improved - less coughing this morning - but it is no doubt a relief from the effects of the medicine. Just taking Balsam once or twice a day now. His cough gets better then worsens, but the head is the principle problem. Great difficulty in deciding whether to relocate themselves to Jackson, Me.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
