Partial Transcript: "Her manners were formed from the best models of Virginia society — gentle, courteous, dignified, cheerful — as kind to one of her slaves as to a white person of the same age ; and the result was that her slaves not only loved and respected her but prided themselves in belonging to an old Virginia family."
