In May of the same year she described the emigration of a number of Virginia landowners to plantations farther south and the process of moving their slaves with them, often involving large numbers of people. In the same letter she detailed the development of her friendship with a slave woman and the woman's change of roles from house servant to field hand to spinning, until her death while still young. In August Emily wrote to Sarah about southerners' distrust of strangers from the North and concerns about abolitionists. In February 1861 Emily wrote about secession from the perspective of a transplanted New Englander.
