Our New York Letter describes Hetty Green, famed richest woman in America, living in a $23 monthly Hoboken flat with her daughter. Neighbors know her as Mrs Warrington and note she avoids others, socializes mainly with the janitor’s family, and uses odd entry points to the building.
Residents recall Mrs Green as a private, thrifty tenant who buys small groceries and tea, cares for neighbors, and ensures milk and fizz bottles are returned. The janitor praises her generosity and modest lifestyle, noting she avoids religious services and lives simply without harming others.
