Letter
| Quotes from Letter, May 17, 1860,
Mary Jane Higgins, Hamilton, to "Dear Husband" (apparently a slave of Richard
Call at Lake Jackson):
"I received a letter from Master some time since in which he informs
me that you are well. . . I hope you will still look up to god as your
supporter and your friend and I try to do the same and. . . altho' separated
in person I trust we will be present in spirit. You will give my
love to Master and to miss Ellen and miss Mary. I dare say Master
is lonesome since his house has become so quiet but I am certain he has
one Friend who will cheer him . . . give my love to all my acquaintances
and friends . . . My Father and mother sister Martha and brother Jefferson
join me in love to Master and you. I hope to hear from you soon and
beleive me to be your faithful and devoted wife . . . P.S. I have sent
along with this a few lines from my own pen of my first writing as I thought
it would please Master and you to see I am trying to learn something." |
