Description

Correspondence to Mary Snowden Cairns from her niece, Annie Brinkley Snowden, 1898 September 25.

"Your dear sweet letter has about decided me to join you in New York the latter part of next week. Now don't laugh and give it away will you? I give this secret into your safe keeping and come as a surprise - yes, as you know, Papa expects to be with you soon and he has made me very happy by supposing to take me with him...I had anticipated a visit to Jeanie Lea the latter part of October, but as the fever persists of course I must banish any such plans for the present... Mamma will remain with Imogene and Annesdale is not to be opened yet so as hot weather in particular and shot gun quarantine keep me out of Memphis. I shall beat(?) a nasty retreat to steal(?) second home in New York."

Mary Jay Snowden Cairns was the sister of Robert Bogardus Snowden and Annie Brinkley Snowden was Robert Bogardus Snowden's daughter.
