Hibernia Hughes letter dated September 1836 to Sarah Miller
Since your long looked for & almost despaired of letter reached me, you have
had time to forget there was such a person living, for it was on the ever
memorable 30th of July last while I was lying in bed with a high fever & my
poor unfortunate Sister Jane lying a corpse in the house at the same time33 .
I say unfortunate, Cousin Sarah, because happy She was living with a charming
little family where she had plenty of friends & a plenty to live aupon when
she was blinded and married a cosmopolite yankee who after spending her part
of the property in gold watches, fine clothes & horses, & moving into three
different counties in the course of 8 months brought his wife & her little
children to Mother's & his wife not in a situation to be taken from one place
to another & with out a pair of shoes or the means of getting them; & there
she was confined & delivered of a stillborn son--which caused her death--& my
husband who is their half-brother34 has taken the three youngest boys. The
oldest boy is away at school & Mother has the girl she is not quite twelve
years old
