Title
[Letter to] Dear Wife [manuscript]
Description
Holograph, signed
Title devised by cataloger
On verso, the delivery address is "Mrs. Charlotte Phelps, Wrentham, Mass." It was postmarked, "POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y., MAR 28."
In a letter written to his wife, Charlotte, from Peekskill on March 23, Amos A. Phelps says he read ́John Newtońs life, letters,́ and expresses his distaste for the religious sentiments with which the slave trader engaged in his ́hellish́ business. In the part written in Poughkeepsie on March 28, he discusses their domestic arrangements (made for their stay in Farmington for the summer), and his plans to go to Albany, Boston, and then, Wrentham to pack. He then talks about ministers at Poughkeepsie (́I know I should love to drive the devil out of such a village and make conquest of it for God́)
