Letter from Jonathan Abbatt to Mary Dilworth (later Abbatt), February 28, 1853
PublicThis 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). A couple weeks before traveling down, Jonathan writes Mary that he feels lonely and is anxious to know what her parents will think. He repeats his interest in her and how he's looking forward to seeing her. If she finds out earlier that her parents will consent, he asks her to let him know.
