OF SHAKER INTEREST:  Critical of their clothes.

A 2 page handwritten letter by C. J. Cowles of Charlottesville N.C., who is a cousin of Livinia Andrews of New Britain, Ct.  C.J. is disappointed that Livinia wasn’t able to join her for the meeting in Shaker Village, known also as Watervliet (NY)  
But the letter gives a interesting description of what she saw and her impression of the Shaker ladies’ dresses. “ I am spending the day with the Shakers- attended their meeting which was thronged today & felt that you would have enjoyed the scene exceedingly. We had dozens of mediums  The Sisters looked rather grotesque in their plain white hoopless habits — all were dressed alike— all wore white muslin crepes— the skirt pleated back from the front— broad pleat front & their narrow ones not unlike a shirt bosom on a large scale— with kerchiefs laid smooth across the shoulder— folded from corner to corner…”  continuing with their pale countenance and also the dress of the men.

Dated August 9 1857.  The letter was dispatched from Albany as a ‘free’ letter meaning the postage was paid by C.J. and the carrier would not need to collect a stamp fee from Lavinia.  $300.
