To Alfred William Fisher, 1872-1910
Scope and Contents
All sent to him in New York, and many discuss his loneliness and adventurousness for living there. One addressed to nephew and niece, plus another from an aunt thanking him for the gift of some fashion books and newspapers, a few from friends: a J. Grubb in Dublin, for one, discusses everything from the contested election of 1876 to a ministers and laymen convention. A few from cousins, for example: Anna Fisher in Jamesville NC, who mostly discusses the Centennial Exhibition, a Dublin cousin giving advice on trades and city introductions, also discussing his marriage. Two also reference visits to Alfred. A casual invitation to a party on Staten Island with Rules: We have no married folks with us written across the bottom. Also letters from his grandmother and mother (on black-bordered paper)
