Letter to Mary Johnson of Worthington, Ohio from Charles Stickney of Republic, Ohio
Basic details
Background
This letter was written to Mary Johnson of Worthington, Ohio from Charles Stickney of Republic, Ohio. It is a second appeal from a hopeful suitor to begin a correspondence with her. He begins this letter by mentioning that an earlier letter he sent her was unanswered and questions whether it was even received, if it was received with displeasure and therefore ignored, or if she has been too busy to respond. He then goes on request they begin a correspondence again and asks that she reply soon.
Mary was daughter of one of Worthington's founders, Orange Johnson and wife Achsa (Maynard) Johnson. She married Francis Sessions on August 18, 1847. The Sessions were interested in promoting art and art instruction in Columbus. The Sessions art collection formed a basis for the Columbus Museum of Art collection.
Charles Stickney had met Mary and her father, Orange, while on a coach returning from a trip they had taken to the east.
