This letter appears to be from one of Enos T Throop's nephews, since "Evy" likely refers to his only niece on his sister's side (Evelina Throop Martin) who would have been ten years old on the date of this letter. His sister's three sons include M B Martin, 1806–1884; Enos Thompson Throop Martin, 1808–1883; George Bliss Martin, 1811–1900 - Work Type:
