Background
Martha Cary, a former boarder, writes to Achsa to inform her that she will not be returning. She had an offer to teach school for the summer, and would be able to make a little more money. She promises to pay the money that she owes as soon as possible, and requests that Achsa send her clothes.
Achsa Johnson was born Achsa Maynard on April 7,1791. She was the daughter of Moses Maynard. In 1815, she married Orange Johnson (b. February 7, 1790 - d. November 28, 1876) a comb maker by trade from Connecticut. The comb business was very successful, and Achsa and Orange moved into their home at 956 High Street in 1816. They had three children, but only one, Mary, survived into adulthood. The family moved to Columbus in 1847, when their daughter married Francis Sessions.
