A letter, dated May 29, 1830, from Susan Teagle to “My Dear Sister,” presumably Louisa Bellett Lee. Susan complains of an ear problem but says her cough is better. She is concerned about her “Dear little Peter and Caroline” because of the “putrid sore throat and smallpox” in Portsmouth, Virginia. She also mentions Edwin, “brother Barziza,” and James Lee, Louisa’s husband.
