Letter to her sister, which is apparently the first since she left home. She describes quickly becoming accustomed to the lifestyle in Georgia and says that she prefers it, including the number of blacks in the area: she mentions that they "find it no inconvenience at all to be waited upon." She asks her sister to destroy the letter and to show it to no one but their brother.
