Source Description
Mary Anne Estlin writes to James Miller McKim regarding sending him letters to give to others due to her lack of address information. She also sends him the last Freeman because she doesn't know if he has access to it. She also writes of his misquotation of her. She writes, "I don't mean to waste my small measures of energy in irritating you. In general, I accord better with people on paper than in conversation, but it seems the reverse with you; I have the ill luck to light upon tender points in every written communications, perhaps this is because our agreement is upon things pertaining to the life within & we do not see 'eye to eye' in what relates to outward affairs, while these necessarily form the staple of our correspondence." She writes of her hearing from Ms. Wigham of his beneficial influences in Edinburgh. She writes that her father is well enough to travel and won't stay at home much in the autumn. She writes that her father tried to answer a letter of Mr. Allen of Maine in the Inquirer and states, "after much tribulation we have succeeded in sending something to that paper."
