Carroll was much pained to find that Clarke did not know of the death of their sister Anne. She died on Dec. 20, 1882 and saintly sister Mrs. Fitzhugh, Dec. 4, 1883. She and her sister Rebecca are lonely, the only two left of a large family. She asks if Clarke had heard that Duddington, their old home, is no longer in the family. Waggaman advised them to sell and it gave them terrible grief. They have none of the papers or pamphlets, that Clarke asks for. They destroyed much rubbish, old letters and bills, but nothing of interest to outsiders. Her sisters probably answered similar requests and gave many pamphlets away. They are in possession of a portrait of Washington by Stuart which they would gladly sell to some art gallery. It is wonderfully preserved and George P. Healy asked to make a copy of it for Louis Phillippe. If Clarke could find a buyer, everyone would be greatly pleased. They have been sorely tried. :: I-2-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
