- In the letter, Hagar's aunt implores her to come home because Hagar's father has recently passed away. One of the noteworthy aspects of the letter is Hagar's aunt's use of spelling, showing the lack of educational opportunities afforded to African Americans during this time period. While the letter is undated, it is believed to have been written in the mid-19th century.
