In several instances, a page had been cut out and/or a portion of a page had been cut out. The journal is not always chronological; entries switch around various years 1878,1879, and 1881.

Letter 7 of group of letters to Frances (Fannie) S. Spurling
Great Cranberry Island Historical Society
Description:
Letter 7 (with transcription) in a collection of letters to Frances (Fannie) S. Spurling. This one is from her older half-brother A. B. Spurling in 1874 Andrew Barclay Spurling writes from New York City and states he learned of their mother’s illness from Fannie’s letter of the 16th, and of her death (January 17, 1874) in a letter from their brother William of the 19th, both of which he received on January 21, 1874. Too late to go home. He reminisces fondly about his mother and offers have Father Preble live with him now if he wishes to. A.B. Spurling (Civil War General Andrew Barclay) who wrote letter 7 is one of Samuel E. Spurling’s younger brothers (Samuel wrote letters 1-6 to Fannie). Frances (Fannie) A. Preble was Samuel and Andrew’s half-sister, the daughter of the widowed Abigail Cobb Hadlock Spurling and her second husband William P. Preble. [show more]
