Abby Hopper Gibbons letter to Sarah Hopper Palmer and Jonathan Palmer

Her brother John arranged for an Italian artist to come make a death mask of the child at midnight. She herself made a silhouette of Thomas's face. Her young sister Hannah also passed away. Speaks positively of a young man named James, possibly her future husband James Gibbons.
