Mary Doddridge (cousin), Northampton, to Mercy Doddridge, Sr., Tewkesbury, 22 October 1774.
Mary has been ill but her Northampton friends have been very gracious to her and continue to help her with the upkeep of the house there. Note on address page reads,"Returned to Mrs. Mary Rowlinson at Northampton for a better Direction," suggesting that Mary Doddridge may have moved from the former Doddridge home which by this date had more than likely been sold. Mary's "Direction" on the address page misspells Tewkesbury and her location so badly that it was probably not readable or understandable to the postal delivery person].
