WCP1269

From:
Frances ("Fanny") Sims (née Wallace)
To:
Alfred Russel Wallace
Date:
June 1845
Source of text:
Natural History Museum, London: NHM WP1/3/93/4
Summary:

Life with the Jacksons and their ten children pleasant in country home in the woods. Unlike at other plantations, “servants” [slaves] “live well here...not a harsh word said to the poor things.” Servants are permitted to socialize with each other when day’s work is done. Likes country social life among Alabama gentry. Thinks ARW would do well as Engineer and Surveyor in Montgomery.
