Letter from Parentha Bodwell, Farmington, to Amos Augustus Phelps, March 28th 1828

Amos A. Phelps’s cousin, Parentha Bodwell, writes to Phelps from Phelps's mother’s house. Bodwell says Phelps’s mother was impatient waiting for his letters. Even though she would like to have Phelps with her helping her with business, she is satisfied with his own pursuit. Bodwell then discusses a business problem Phelps’s mother is having, as well as the affairs of some family friends.
