Deborah Norris Logan writes to Sarah Wister. She describes Philadelphia, writing "but alas our Philadelphia is not as it used to be you can scarse walk a square without seeing the shocking sight of a cart with five or six coffins in it. Oh it is too dreadful a scene to attempt to describe the poor creatures die without number. Large pits are dug in the negroes burying ground and forty or fifty coffins are put in this one hole." Deborah continues to describe her life and the experiences of mutual friends.; American Philosophical Society
