Letter from Mary Dilworth (later Abbatt) to Jonathan Abbatt, April or May, 1853
This letter is part of a series of courtship correspondence between Jonathan Abbatt and Mary Dilworth (later Abbatt). The Abbatt family was a Quaker family who lived in the towns and villages of Preston, Ribchester, and Garstang in Lancashire, England. The letters chronicle the courtship, discussions of faith, local events, shared sentiments, etc. Mary sometimes addressed as Polly in the letters. Please note that the months on the letters’ dates were added as numerical values rather than the month's name (e.g. 2 Mo = February). Mary writes that she is in Preston to keep Isaac company while waiting for his baby to arrive. She says that she'll tell Isaac about him just in case he comes to visit.
