Description
-
Letter was addressed to Olivia Rebecca Rees, who at the time lived in Ohio, from her brother McDonough Bainbridge Rees, who lived in Oregon. McDonough had recently returned from the mines and was just now having the opportunity to respond to all his letters. McDonough was happy to hear from his sister Olivia and wishes to come visit home, Ohio. He is currently living with McCullough who is an Universalist. Most of the family that lives in Oregon have started to attend Universalist Church. He tells Olivia that their brother Willard Hall Rees would desperately like to hear back from her, and is now the strongest in Universalist faith of them all. Willard Hall has recently had his last child named David Crawford, named after Willard's friend. Since Olivia lives in Ohio, McDonough updates her on her other brothers that live in Oregon as well. Raymond and McDonough plan on making a trip to Ohio to visit with family in the fall. The original letter is accompanied by a typed transcript. This is one item from the Rees Family Correspondence Collection, which includes many letters between family members in Oregon and Ohio.
