This isn't Phillis Wheatly, these are her biggest fans. We have found this, and wanted to keep everyone who is reading this updated. Our great Phillis Wheatly has passed away. Her husband had left her, he unfortunately went bankrupt. She then became a maid, in a boarding house and was forced into domestic labor, something she couldn't stand. She eventually became ill and died alone, on December 5, 1784.

You are missed for your great words of wisdom, you have inspired many of us to do what we believe in. That we can amount to anything, black, white, woman, or man. You have also preached Christanity, your faith in God never failed to amuse us Phillis Wheatly. You made a big impact on many African American writers, and we love you.

- Your fans,
October 4, 1792
