Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life of Abby Hopper Gibbons, Vol. 1: Told Chiefly Through Her Correspondence
The loving intimacy which existed between her family and that of her brother and sister, Samuel and Rachel Brown, and which descended to their children and grandchildren, is not marked by let ters, owing to the fact that the two families lived within daily reach of each other. Their joys and their sorrows were shared in common.
To the many friends who have contributed to the progress of the work by allowing me the use of letters and in other ways, and more especially to the few who have personally aided me in the preparation of it for the press, I desire to record my most grateful thanks.
To one of these my mother wrote in the year 1870, Sit beside my children, and see to it that they do not dwell in the shadow; for what is called death is the life that will bring rest.
