George Lord letter to Lucretia Mott, 1868 5mo 29
Scope and Contents
2 pages. Written on Walter Brown and Co. stationery. George Lord writes that he and "Patty" (his wife and Lucretia Mott's daughter, Martha Mott Lord) spent some reminiscing about James Mott's last visit with them (James Mott died while at their home on January 26, 1868), and they feel as if they fall short of his standard of living a "truly Christian life." He also apologies for the fact that he and Patty have not been as attentive as they should be in writing to Lucretia. Lucretia Mott wrote part of her letter dated July 1, 1868, to Martha Coffin Wright on the back of this letter (A00182159).
