Happy 180th, Marion Brown?

 I think today is Marion Brown's 180th birthday; my first post here says she was born July 2, 1843.  Iain Hutchison's 2002 article says 1844, and I forget why we don't use the same birthdate, but he's probably right. So maybe it's really her 179th birthday. Nonetheless, I will try to mark the occasion somehow. (Not with swine curds.) Maybe I should transcribe another letter here, though! I know it's long overdue, and I still believe it's worth continuing.
