Episode 38 — A Rumor That You Abandoned Me by Your Most Obedient & Humble Servant

Jannote Roustant to Jean Roustant, 1 July 1745 AND Johanna Fredericha Teller to Ambrosius Teller, 28 May 1798.

I'm thrilled to post this episode that I recorded last July with Dr. Lucas Haasis (@LHaasis) and Lisa Magnin, researchers with the Prize Papers Project.

This is an incredible project that is going to be a great resource for people studying just about any aspect of history.
