Abstract

Handwritten letter from Louisa Thacher Huntoon Worth, wife of Sailors' Snug Harbor inmate George Bunker Worth, to Captain Gustavus D. S. Trask, explaining the circumstances of her marriage to George. She explains that he is not a widower but is married to her and that they have a daughter [Mary Jane Worth] who is almost 22 years old. For confirmation, she states that Trask can contact the Harbor's reverend, Charles J. Jones, or Henry Macy, who read Louisa's letters to George. She also intends to write to Captain Charles G. Bunker, of Brooklyn, George's cousin, to inform him that if this is all that is keeping him from returning [to the Harbor?], that the Trustees should forgive it, for George's sake. She also mentions that she and their daughter visited the Harbor in Captain [Thomas] Melville's day.
