Thank you for posting the letter. It is delightful reading. I have been curious about the accents and pronunciation of those early days, when people did not have the influences of television and radio, the great equalizers of the American language. I wonder how the people of upper North Carolina spoke. I also enjoyed the conversation between the Black woman and her mistress.
Please edit Alabama Pioneers articles with more care. I often find many grammar and punctuation mistakes.
I have friends from around the country who think little of Alabama. Sharing an article from Alabama Pioneers that is full of mistakes reinforces their prejudice.
Loved reading this..would love to read this ladies book. And this article looks to be an excerpt from someone’s letter in the 1700s..it would be a shame to ‘correct grammer’ and not post it as written in the grammar of that day.
