Letter written by Mary E. West of Zanesville, Ohio, circa 1840, three pages with integral address paned to "General A Jackson Hermitage Tennessee" with manuscript postage paid. She pleads in small part: "…I am an orphan girl without a relative that I know of in this wide world…will you give me a home beneath your roof this is my request; can you grant it; I will work I will sew I will try to earn my living if you will but let me come…I am 20 years old what am I without character nothing nothing…" Light overall soiling, VG.
