"Our One Common Country" author talk in Stratford, CT

[Eva Elisabeth]

RE: "I could have sworn MTL wrote this to one of her sister's...perhaps Emilie Helm" - Toia, you sure have read more and know Mary's letters better than I do. If you are sure you read this in one of Mary's letters I don't doubt you are wrong. I was just wondering if you perhaps had Bradford's account of the incident in mind as the wording is so similar to what you recalled reading, and somehow this is something I could rather imagine Mary saying in the very moment of being upset than writing, but I sure may be wrong, it was just a feeling.

I agree on that, but he was also very compassionate and warm hearted.
