In a letter to her sister Louisa Hasbrouck, from their Aunt Elizabeth Bevier (their mother's sister), she writes "I had heard by your Aunt Charity that Ann had gone to the Newburgh Seminary. She enjoys a great privilege such as fads not to the lot of every one; indeed of but a favored few..." she goes on to say "As to her fare you say she has pork and beans for her Saturday dinner and think that is not good food and ask my opinion whether it is - I must beg leave my dear niece to differ from you in this particular - It is an excellent dish...". The letter was dated December 23, 1842. The Newburgh Female Seminary was established by Nathaniel Scudder Prime, D. D. in the year 1835. Dr. Prime moved to Newburgh area that same year and continued to live in the area for eight more years.
