Their relationship to Charlotte Hyde listed with him in 1860 is unknown, but it's possible that "Charlotte" is actually Catherine. From letters written by James to Elizabeth (Abbot) Bowditch, we know that Catherine was not living with James when his wife Eliza died on 10 March 1859, but she was with him on 3 April 1859. His letter of 14 February 1866 says that "In 1861 I sent Kate north," but she was apparently back living with him in 1866 and 1867.
