Frances Tucker Bryan, Eagle Point, to Fanny Bland Coalter, 1847 February 23
Scope and Contents
The Bryan place, Eagle Point in Gloucester County, is so isolated and the family growing so large that a school teacher was kept there for the other children. She mentions her brothers and sisters, and tells of a traveling entertainer: "De [Delia] and myself went to Warner Hall...and there found an Italian ventriloquist with a hat on that had little bells all around the brim...if he comes to Chatham you will probably be deceived by him..."
