Greven, the two women were “as close, if not closer than, sisters.”[5]  As Esther wrote to Sarah in 1754, “I esteem you one of the best, and in some respects nearer than any Sister I have.”[5]Esther Edwards Burr died on April 7, 1758.  Sarah Prince was nearly inconsolable. \u201cMy whole dependance for Comfort in this World [is] gone,\u201d Sarah wrote in her personal book of meditations. Esther \u201cwas dear to me as the Apple of my Eye- she knew and felt all my griefs…”[7]Prince also corresponded with Catharine Macaulay.[8]Although multiple men tried to court her, Prince remained singled and living with her parents throughout her twenties.[5]  By 1752, Sarah was the only surviving child in the family.[5]After the death of both of her parents, 31 year old Sarah Prince married Moses Gill, a wealthy Boston merchant.[1]  She was six years his senior.[9]Sarah Prince Gill died at the age of 43 on August 5, 1771.[1]  She had no children.[1]Esther Edwards Burr’s letters to Sarah Prince are the most extensive surviving literary criticism written by a colonial American woman.[10]The Journal of Esther Edwards Burr, 1754-1757 were published in 1984 by Yale University Press.[11]In 2005, Prince’s conversion narrative was published by the University of Tennessee Press as part of The Silent and Soft Communion: The Spiritual Narratives of Sarah Pierpont Edwards and Sarah Prince Gill, edited by Sue Lane McCulley and Dorothy Zayatz Baker.[4]References[edit]^ a b c d e f g Yeager, Jonathan M.
