Most are letters received by Rebecca, including one from Mary Rotch. A letter from Hannah, Jr., Byberry, notifies her of the sudden death of Grace Thornton, wife of James, from typhus. A letter from her mother in 12 month reported that Peter was settling down, and they hoped for the same for Benjamin. He wrote in July that he will not return to the master he despised in Chester County, but is living and working in Reading, Pennsylvania.
