A letter from Mildred Ann Bullitt (Oxmoor) to her children (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), dated February 1860. Mildred claims that Lucy had tried to poison her by giving her tonic with bluestone in it. Mildred also claims that Lucy had smothered her own baby. As a result, Mildred writes that Lucy was sold to Garrison, the local slave trader, for $1350 and shipped to New Orleans. Mildred writes that, "Your father thinks the abolitionists have it all to answer for."
