- Note from Marion Reynolds enclosed with the negatives:
“Greenwich, the home of our next speaker, recalls the curious letter said to have been written by Cotton Mather in 1682, which is in an old Quaker Meeting House of Greenwich, R.I. to the Puritans in 1680. A Quaker was what a red-eyed Bolshevik is to us today, and Rhode Island was then a “hot-bed of radicalism” — full of Baptists and Quakers — which greatly worried the conservative Puritans.”
By Marion R.
[*The envelope was used to mail a note and returned photographic negatives to Pettit from the addressee, Marion Reynolds, a worker at the School. A hasty note was enclosed in the envelope from Marion to Katherine Pettit. ]
