Letter to Colonel May, Germantown, November 29, 1832
DEAR SIR: - It is with great pleasure that I announce to you the birth of a second daughter. She was born at half-past 12 this morning, on my birthday (33) and is a very fine healthful child, and has a fine foundation for health and energy of character. Abba, inclines to have her called Louisa May, a name to her full of every association connected with amiable benevolence and exalted worth. I hope its present possesor may rise to equal attainment and deserve a place in the estimation of Society.
Yours,
A. BRONSON ALCOTT.
