Letter from Jonathan Abbatt to Mary Dilworth (later Abbatt), April 14, 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). In this letter, Jonathan tells Mary that he spoke with his father about her and will let her know what he thinks as soon as possible. He suggests he pay them a visit in the next week. Again, he mentions that he won't tell his friends about the visit, but if it gets out, he won't be too worried about it either.
