註釋Sally Baxter--the beautiful New York belle who captivated Thackeray, personifying his heroine Beatrix Esmond, and who then married into South Carolina's famous Hampton family and became mistress of Woodlands plantation--left a small collection of letters that are both informative and entertaining. In a clear and uninhibited style, she tells the poignant story of her short life as she reports on social events and plantation life and records her observation on politics and the impending civil war. --From cover.
