Note 554 — Chapter XXIV · FLETCHER’S MARRIAGE. 1781.
Reading edition
Fletcher’s relatives in Switzerland most faithfully fulfilled this part of Fletcher’s Will. In an unpublished letter to Mrs. Crosby, dated June 20, 1786, his widow wrote:—
“My brother Henry possesses so much of the spirit of my dear husband, that his care of me exceeds all imagination. The family have sent me a bond, laying in their own estates as security to forward me the whole produce every year. I do not yet know exactly what it will be; but it is far better than I thought; and so is everything in which my dearest Mr. Fletcher has been concerned.”
