Description

Lucretia M. Donald's affections for Elijah P. Chase shine through in this letter dated Sept. 2, 1841. The spelling is horrible and the syntax is a bit confusing, but nonetheless, her love for Elijah, away for two and a half years on the ship "Navigator" in the "Pac o," is unmistakeable.
