| CONTENT DESCRIPTION | |||
| Abstract | Peggy Rawle responds to Sarah (Sally) Wister. She discusses her longing to be in Germantown instead of "the town" and her feelings of loneliness. Peggy also describes her home life including locking the library door "to keep my troublesom[e] little Brother out". Peggy also discusses a mutual friend, namely Polly Fishbourne, who she describes as not "a girl of her word" as she has not been writing her. She also references a "D N", likely Deborah Norris (Logan). | ||
