Dear Hannah: A Collection of Letters Depicting Quaker Life in Rural Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1850-1860

The letters of Hannah Wilson (1850-1860) transcribed with original spellings and annotated markings by C. B. Frederick tell the story of Quaker life in rural Philadelphia. This collection of 150 never before seen letters reveals the local history of Bucks, Montgomery, Chester and Philadelphia counties and the increasingly dominant trend of women's participation in the pre-civil war society in a number of significant vocations. In addition to their value in Local, Period and Women's history, the letters contain over 1,000 unique family names, relations and locations making them a valuable asset to genealogical researchers. Included in the 348 pages is an Introduction, Bibliography, and Index.
