Today the snow made Philadelphia very photogenic. The snow was not too deep to impede my trip at all. The staff at the library celebrated a birthday and there was lots of food and extra break time.
Spent lunch eating "southern style" food at Delilah's in Reading Terminal Market with Jackson.
To finish off this week on the blog I'm leaving part of a letter I transcribed today:
Middletown May 27th 1828From C.M. Poice to William W. Wister at Germantown (probably at Grumblethorpe)
Dear Billy,
I intended to have written you before this, but have been so much engaged I have hardly had time to write anyone. I hear that you are positively engaged to Miss H.L.M. To be sure I was not very much surprised to hear it, for it has been my opinion that it would be so for some time past. I wish you in answering this (letter) would let me know all about it, when it is to take place, and if you think proper, give my respects to her. I expect to see you and Jack this way before a great while, I shall be very happy to see you.
