- Letter from Sallie W. Hovey [born Sarah Whittier Hovey] in Eliot, ME, to Miss Bracelin dated July 2, 1831. In the letter, Hovey primarily discusses court cases, including the "Pinkham affair." She goes on to discuss her experience before three Maine juries, noting that in one case the jury had made up their minds before the first witness, who contradicted herself and other witnesses, was finished. Hovey notes her troubles were caused by dishonest lawyers. Sallie Hovey was involved in the Emery v. Hovey case brought before the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Emery had previously sued Hovey in Maine over the same issue and the court had ruled against Emery.
