“Creole ladies who, having staid in the Island during the revolution, relate their sufferings in a manner which harrows up the soul;and dwell on the recollection of their long lost happiness with melancholy delight. St Domingo was formerly a garden.”(pg.70)

I found this quote to be incredibly interesting due to the fact that it presents a different point off view that we are not used to. I provides the viewpoint of the creoles who still live in St. Domingo and what has happened to their place in society and how they live after the fact. They describe St. Domingo as a garden and in a way it was with how prosperous it was and after the revolution all of the places on the island that supported the institution of slavery had been destroyed by the slaves and this wonderful prosperous place was gone. But, it was not wonderful and prosperous for everyone, it was only prosperous for white people and creoles.

towards the last half of the third letter she talks about her experiences with creoles and talks about the two types of people she had met. One was extremely jealous and had killed her own baby and showed the head to the husband and the other lost her husband and children when they were killed by slaves. This paragraph passage provides insight on how the creoles lived during the time and what kind of people they were and she goes on to describe their accents and love of music.With the concluding statement she goes on to say that they are the most irresistible creatures and yet she would not befriend one of them because she fears their stability. By which she most likely is referring to the woman who ordered her own child’s head to be cut off and by this story alone it has affected her overall view of these peoples.
