Elizabeth Hatfield to Mary-Ann Nicholson, 19 January 1801
She is glad to receive a letter but is sad to hear that Mary-Ann can't come to visit her, she likes the name chosen for Mary-Ann's new little brother, she's working on a pincushion for her Aunt Hannah and complimenting her on her neat handwriting.
