Willard, Joseph, Esq., "Johnson, Willard and Sheafe", NEHGR, vol. IV, (1850), pp. 306.

Among the letters at the close of the narrative is one from Miriam Willard, then sixteen years old, the sister of Mrs. Johnson, and afterwards the respected wife of Rev. Phineas Whitney, of Shirley. It was written from Montreal, in the summer of 1756, to her brother and sister at Quebec. The Governor would not allow her to join them at Quebec, unless she would consent to go to prison. This she refused to do. She speaks of the health of a niece who was with her, and that of the other prisoners, and with genuine sentiment and a beautiful expression, somewhat remarkable for one so young, says "My love is folded up in their lives."
