From Dr Henry Wythe Tabb diary, he spoke of his wife Ellen's relationship with his daughter Lucia by Martha:
"But her conduct towards my youngest daughter Lucia who fell more immediately under her care called forth my gratitude and the admiration of her sisters and often have I heard Lucia say that she could not possibly love her mother more than she did her; the letter she wrote to Lucia while at school in Raleigh, N. C. would do honor to the head and heart of any stepmother or own mother and would to God that all stepmothers could read them and possess the feelings that prompted them."
