Wonderful pairing here: 2 pieces of #American #hair #jewellery with accompanying letter of 1813, #brooch with hair of Abigail Adams & Mercy Otis Warren, #ring with Abigail & John Adam’s hair, gifts from Abigail to Mercy to mark the renewal of their #friendship

DA: My #archivesathome highlight was learning @NYHistory holds the letter Abigail Adams wrote that corresponds to the Warren / Adams hair jewelry at @MHS1791 aka two of my all time favorite artifacts (images courtesy of NYHS and MHS online collections).
