Excerpt from A Sketch of Mrs. Elizabeth Russell: Wife of General William Campbell, and Sister of Patrick Henry

This imperfect sketch of Mrs. Elizabeth Russell was written at the request of the Rev. R. N. Price, who asked me "for a brief statement of such facts and incidents in her life as are in your possession or memory, and a word-portrait of her character." When the task was commenced the material at hand was so scanty, and the incidents in my memory so few and shadowy, that I almost despaired of producing any thing worthy of notice or a place in the "History of Holston Methodism." However, I opened a correspondence with various members of my family, and sought such scraps of information as could be gathered from tradition and fragments of old letters and other papers. To Mrs. Sallie C. P. Miller, of Princeton, New Jersey, the eldest of my nieces, I am under many obligations for valuable contributions and suggestions, as well as to other members of the family.

The investigation itself revived memories which had almost faded from my mind, and I was surprised at the distinctness with which scenes, incidents, and words were recalled. Had I not embodied the information collected, and recorded my own recollections, the incidents in Mrs. Russell's life would perhaps have been forgotten by this generation, or vaguely remembered among the traditions of the country. Most of the letters and papers of Mrs. Russell and my parents were lost by the burning of the houses in which they were stored, and many of those saved from the flames were destroyed by Federal soldiers.

The result of this "labor of love" is now submitted to the public under a deep sense of its meagerness and many imperfections, but with the hope and prayer that it may awaken in the heart of some pilgrim of earth a desire to imitate the example of this Christian woman.
