Mentioned in Southworth to GSB letter of 1844-01-12 (John Hay Collection, Brown University) - "P.S. Almira Stetson sends love to you. She is a great advance on the wild uncouth rough she was when I knew her in Brooklyn. She is my sister – more so than Laura or Debrah (?) Southworth, who were born of the same woman with myself."
Also mentioned in 1844-02-11 as visiting Brooklyn (HA 1282, Brown University John Hay Collection)
