Volume 6 covers the last twenty months of Emily Chubbuck Judson's life. She is increasingly impaired by the illness that was to claim her life on June 2, 1854. Most of the letters in this volume are from the Judson children Abby Ann, Adoniram "Addy," Elnathan "Elly," Henry, and Edward, as well as George Dana Boardman, the son of George and Sarah Boardman (who became the second "Mrs. Judson"). They all addressed Emily as "Mamma." An appendix on the Judson children encompasses the time after Emily's death through 1914.
