July 25, 1861 — A Lady’s Story

Litchfield Enquirer, Litchfield, CT

Her female friends begged all the pins, needles, and similar articles from her, before she started for the North, as they said she could readily obtain a supply here, whereas they either did or should want them long before they could reasonably hope to purchase them as in “Union times.”
