Archival Notes: In her own hand? A memorandum with the MS at time of distribution in 1955 stated that it was found filed under 28 July 1838 with a Hollingsworth document, so was probably filmed at that date. Presumably the 28 July 1838 document referred to is JQA to Edmund Quincy (

), which was in turn found enclosed with a letter from Rose Hollingworth to CFA2, 10 July 1893. A penciled note attributed the MS, erroneously, to Harriet Welsh. For the identification of the persons mentioned in the MS, see D/JQA/36, 1-5 May 1829, which is the basis for the assigned date of the present document. Entered by ER 11/24/2015
