“This good girl of yours has made herself extreamly acceptable to Mrs. Mason & daughter. We shall anticipate with pleasure some future opportunity to enjoy her society in Boston [...] you have in her [...] great consolation and comfort & a companion that will alleviate & soothe these sorrows which probably never can be removed.”
Jonathan Mason to Elizabeth Hamilton, [1805]. Angelica was visiting the Masons, and seemingly made good friends with Mason's daughter, Miriam Clarke (1790–1870).
