Written by Augustine's sister at Blakely in his mother's absence to John A. Washington in Charlottesville-- Interesting comments about slaves: "Poor Carpenter Tom is now thought dying. He can scarcely live throuigh the day. Dr. Cramer thinks the arteries about his heart very much derranged. The rest of the servants are well. Indeed I wish the quarters could be washed; it is impossible that their situation now can be a healthy one."
