Year inferred from contents. Hascall consoles Hunt after the death of his daughter (possibly Emily C. Hunt). Writes "one trouble follows another in this life, and a few more years will close the scene- and then it will matter little- what we have suffered here-" Notes that her husband "is better and has ceased to be violent." Envelope was originally addressed to Hunt in Newport, Rhode Island. Original address is struck, and envelope is directed to the care of Mrs. Wm. A. Nichols, possibly the wife of General William A. Nichols (Clara Louisa de Russey), at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
