Letter from Martha Washington to John Parke and Eleanor Custis, March 19, 1779. Martha Washington wrote this letter to her son and his wife from the Continental Armyâs winter camp at Middlebrook, New Jersey (she accidentally misdated it 1778). Marthaâs displeasure at not having received letters recently from the couple is evident. (Image courtesy of Mount Vernon Ladiesâ Association.
