A sample from a 1742 letter to a friend:

“Wont you laugh at me if I tell you I am so busey in providing for Posterity I hardly allow my self time to Eat or sleep and can but just snatch a minnet to write to you and a friend or two now. I am making a large plantation of Oaks which I look upon as my own property, whether my father gives me the land or not; and therefore I design many years hence when oaks are more valuable than they are now—which you know they will be when we come to build fleets [ships]. I intend, I say, 2 thirds of the produce of my oaks for a charity (I’ll let you know my scheme another time) and the other 3rd for those that shall have the trouble of putting my design in Execution.”

A dynamic woman in her own right. she ran a plantation for her family and also educated two young African Americans and in her day that was hard to do.
