Letter from Mary Dilworth (later Abbatt) to Jonathan Abbatt, September 15, 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 is amused when Jonathan tells her he was "caught" the last time he visited her. She tells him that she is not put off by his seriousness, but that it adds to his character. She updates that her grandmother is doing better.
