Horace Mann letter to Miss Peabody (MSS-0101)

The collection includes one general response letter from Horace Mann to Miss E. P. Peabody in Salem, Massachusetts on June 11, 1840. Mann was most likely writing to Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, his future sister-in-law at the time. It is difficult to note the subject topic of the letter without the possession of Miss Peabody’s letter, since Mann frequently responds to the events she detailed.
