Basic details
Background
This is a partial draft of a letter written to a woman named Martha from Mary Johnson of Worthington, Ohio. There is no last name or other identifying information about who this Martha might be. It is supposed that she was a friend of Johnson's from the Female Seminary School. The letter appears to be a response to a previous letter from Martha. Johnson tells her that there is little news to tell about Worthington. She does mention some of their mutual acquaintances.
Mary was daughter of one of Worthington's founders, Orange Johnson and wife Achsa (Maynard) Johnson. She married Francis Sessions on August 18, 1847. The Sessions were interested in promoting art and art instruction in Columbus. The Sessions art collection formed a basis for the Columbus Museum of Art collection.
