Condition: Anna Morey was the daughter of Dr. Thomas Chadborne. She married an American inventor, Charles Morey on February 5, 1849 in Bost
Description: Sept - Nov 1855. Anna Morey was the daughter of Dr. Thomas Chadborne. She married an American inventor, Charles Morey on February 5, 1849 in Boston. Charles was killed on December 30, 1856 by a guard at Rue de Clichy, a debtor's prison, on the day he was to be released. Tragically Morey was being release because a judge had found that he had been arrest illegally. . A collection of 6 illustrated letters with 24 pages written by Anna Morey while she and her husband traveled through Germany and towards Paris on their grand European Tour. Anna is clearly writing to a young boy, and most likely a family member (nephew or young cousin) she often makes reference to her parents (his grandparents). Anna and her husband Charles tour through the Germany countryside, mostly alongside the Rhine on a carriage. Some of the towns mentioned in the letters are: Godesbert, Unkel, Goppingen, Ahrweiler, Lochmuhle, Neuwied, Brussels, Cologne, Brun, Koblenz, and Salzig. Inserted into the letters are tiny sketches, done in pen, of some of the sites and people Anna encounters. Additionally, she adds several printed pictures of the hotels or castles she visits. There is a total of nine drawings and six prints. The collection contains two completed letters and two separate sheets that are partial letters. Below are some quotes from the letters:“It was very refreshing & we found they used it for all purposes, even the horses were watered with the same drink and I offered a dipper full to the master puppy but one taste was quite enough for although very hot, he showed there was difference by leaving it.” – Discussing Godesberg’s Mineral Spring“These castles on the Rhine look very picturesque from the river or road below and it seems sad when within its crumbled walls to feel that time will do the same to all we now behold. So we too must all pass away and be forgotten like those who once inhabited them.”“Unkel – A very small town I shall always remember, the stones were by nature arranged in the such a curious manner. One could be easily reminded of the Giant’s Causeway form the picture books for that is the only place I’ve seen it.”“Passing through the town of Lochmuhle, we were assailed by beggars and for the first time since the journey commenced. The dog was quick to know they had had no right to ask, or rather trouble us, and his pellicular look was enough to make them think he would bite them. His hair stood out as though he was constantly electrified and he barked as through his lungs were never in better order, than when he was using them.” (accompanied by an illustration of the dog)“Most all the working people smoke pipes [in] this form, and sometimes they are half a yard long and attached to the belt.” (accompanied by an illustration of a man smoking a pipe)“You can give my love to all, and pass the letter round as I cannot write to each one. Kiss all for me and when you grow to be a man and I am an old lady, I shall expect you to write me.”“… and to see the fine Caste of Ehrenbreitstein. We took a guide and examined it with much interest… We saw plenty of soldiers, a great many cannons and ammunition of all kinds but the view of the town was charming.” - aka Ehrenbreitstein Fortress
