Richardson family correspondence, 1829 - 1830
Scope and Contents
Correspondence between Nathaniel and his father reflects the tension when Hannah Y. Richardson intended to attend the yearly meeting at Cherry Street and not to stay at the Richardson home in Philadelphia. A letter from Rebecca Yarnall, Columbia, to Hannah remarks that the Byberry family seems to be getting quite "gay," per description of a wedding, and she wonders what Grandfather Thornton would think of his descendants. Nathaniel described his visit to Mauch Chunk in a letter to his father.
