sister died and left three girls that all came to your home at first and then Seba made a home for them and cared for them till they could care for themselves and it was her last and dying request in her helpless condition. I felt your influence in Norfolk and we went away, but you followed and the good name of a nobel woman has been sacrificed. I loved her I liked to labor for her comfort and did not complain, nor ask her to compensate me in money and she never complained only years after when she had to make the will and to cast a reflection on my character. Can you sleep sound and don't you hear her pleading for mercy as she lies there helpless? I shall ever cherish her memory. The [?] [?] in the [?] court house must ever [?] the sad ending
