| description |
Lucy was the widow of naturalist John Audubon, who was a close friend of Edward Harris. In the letter she seeks advice about her plans to raise money, which include the sale of property and her husband's artwork. She has made arrangements with men in England to sell the 'Birds of America' drawings to the British Museum. She also mentions the income she and her granddaughter make from teaching ("For more than twenty years I have been uninterruptedly teaching! and now bordering on seventy five I confess I often find it rather wearying, but I must not complain"), and she asks whether they would be able to support themselves if they opened a school in Moorestown. |
