Abstract

Handwritten letter from Sarah Blasland, of South Boston, Massachusetts, to Mr. [Joseph K.?] Clark [Steward?], making arrangements for the exhumation of the body of her father, William Blasland, and its reburial with the rest of the family. A later notation in red gives the cost of this removal and appears to confirm that the transfer was made. Received while Captain Thomas Melville was the governor at Sailors' Snug Harbor.
