Edward Winslow wrote on 30 Oct 1623 to "his much respected Uncle Mr. Robert Jackson..."That 1623 letter made reference to a previous letter written by Winslow "...Almost two yeares since I wrote to my father-in-law declaring the death of his sonn White & continued health of his daughter and her two children."
Winslow had apparently informed the (unidentified) father (Winslow's "father-in-law") of William White (Susanna's earlier husband) of his son's death; and reported on the well-being of the father's daughter-in-law ("daughter").
The original painting of Edward Winslow which shows the letter written to wife Susanna back home is on display at the Pilgrim Hall Museum.It is the only surviving original painting of a Mayflower passeneger.
