Scope and Contents
This proposal, dated June 14, 1714, was written by John Wise, to John Rogers, about beginning a formal courtship between John Wise Jr. and Mary Rogers. The letter is complimentary towards John Rogers and his family, and offers suggestions how a union between John and Mary might benefit the families involved. Evidently the courtship went forward as Mary and John were married four months later on October 23, 1714.
