In a dictated letter written down by Elizabeth Bodwell, Clarissa Tryon tells her son, Amos A. Phelps, about her illness and a few domestic affairs. She also expresses a desire to hear more of the family news, and “how Woodbridge is.” After this letter, Elizabeth Bodwell adds a few personal notes to Phelps’s wife, Charlotte, and their son, Edward afterwards.
