Prudence Ward writes to her brother, George Ward:
We find the Englishmen [Charles Lane and Henry Wright] very agreeable; they are at Mr. [A. Bronson] Alcott’s. We took tea with them at Mrs. Brook’s, and they passed one evening here, and at Mrs. [Cynthia Dunbar] Thoreau’s.
(Bronson Alcott at the Alcott House, England, and Fruitlands, New England (1842-1844), 29)
