Letter signed Mary Beck, Louisville, to My Dear Maria [von Phul], St. Louis. Regarding my paintings on exhibit here in Louisville. This “yellow part” I fear will impede [Louisvillle’s] rapid advances in some measure, until the citizens can enact quarantine laws and repair their stagnant pools. Since I have been here Joanna has been very ill with dysentery. She is now getting better but looks exactly like poor Emmelene before he died. Today my little Georgeane is seized with the same disorder., 1823 June 15
