Emory Washburn (February 14, 1800 – March 18, 1877) was a United States lawyer, politician, and historian. He was Governor of Massachusetts for one term (from 1854 to 1855), and served for many years on the faculty of Harvard Law School. His history of the early years of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court is still considered a foundational work on the subject.
In 1830 he married Marianne Cornelia Giles (1810-1898), the recipient of this letter, with whom he had three sons and one daughter.
Washburn was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1826, serving two terms. This explains the honorific title noted by the sender.
