Description	Sarah Worthington King wrote this letter to her husband Edward King to inform him that their daughter was seriously ill.

Sarah Worthington, the second child of Thomas and Eleanor Worthington was born in Chillicothe in 1800. She was educated at boarding schools in Kentucky before her marriage in 1816 to Edward King. King's father Rufus King was a U. S. senator and diplomat. Following King's death, she married William Peter, the British consul to Philadelphia. While living in Philadelphia, she established the School of Design for Women. After the death of her second husband, Mrs. Peter returned to Cincinnati where she established the Ladies Art School (later the Art School of Cincinnati).
