Ann Bull letter to Charity Rotch, Hartford, November 5, 1816

Michael Bull, Thomas Rotch's attorney in Hartford discusses annual rent on Rotch's Connecticut farm. Ann Bull lost her small child and resigned herself to God's will; parents and children would be reunited in the next life, she wrote, 'The precious child is taken from the evil to come, while I that am advanced down the stream of life am permitted a little longer to encounter the cares of this transient scene.' 7.95" x 12.25" (20 by 31 cm
