    [ This description is from the project: MHS 225th Anniversary ]

    One day before the first anniversary of his wife's suicide and two weeks after his father's death, Henry Adams wrote mournfully to his friend Annie Palmer Fell that he had "buried pretty nearly everything I lived for." The letter continues with Henry's wishes for Fell's new daughter, who she named Marian after Henry's wife.
