Clark (Athens, GA, and London, UK: University of Georgia Press, 1997), which has several letters to Young's daughter Mary and wife Martha (pp. 1–30). These show occasional irritation at Mrs Young's requests for various articles to be sent to her, at her claims that people are slow to reply to her letters, and at repeated invitations for Sarah to visit again. This was something neither she nor Frances wished to do, as they had been embarrassed by the frequent marital strife they had witnessed.
