Handwritten letter from Honora Powers to the governor of Sailors' Snug Harbor, requesting information on her husband, Mr. Powers, who is an inmate there. Received while Captain Gustavus D. S. Trask was the governor of Sailors' Snug Harbor. [Cataloger's note: The filing annotation states that the name of the inmate is "Thomas Powers" but this requires additional research for confirmation.]
