A dated 1839 letter from Jonathan Slick of Weatherfield Connecticut recounts a visit to a Weatherfield cousin’s home in New York. He describes entering a grand parlor, meeting relatives, and a dinner featuring verminsilly soup, cider, and abundant grapes and oranges. The narrator's tone satirizes opulence and social pretensions while conveying cross cultural impressions and his longing to return home.
