20 February 1871
Gibson, Tobias, fl. 1861-1865
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Sarah [Gibson] Humphreys
A melancholy letter discussing the difficulty of running a profitable plantation. Tobias worries over his children and his failings. He mentions the death of his wife, 20 years ago to the day. He writes of another woman he fell in love with after Louisiana died: "we were everything to each other but the nuptial ceremony . . . ." but "we do not correspond, but I hear occasionally of her."
