Letter to John McClure, Jr.
State of Tennessee, Greene County, March 25, 1819.
Respected Counsin,
I embrace this Opportunity of writing to you, to inform you that I am in good health at present, trusting these lines will reach you and find you in the same. There has been great affliction in father’s family, death has visited the family . Brother Samuel departed this life the 19th of this month, he was taken with the flux the first day of the month. Father is lying very low at this time, the flux appears abated, an old complaint appears to grow more fatal. The rest of the family is in tolerable health at present. Grandfather and Aunt Anne are in good health they both wish to be remembered to you and all the relations. Brother George and Aunt Anna has returned from Blount County. Mr. Whites and Uncle Hutchisons familys has been afflicted with the fever. I will mention the names of those that have been afflicted with the fever. Mrs. White, Sally, Anna Jorden, Eliza Drusilla, James Diddle. Uncle William was confined to bed six weeks, John White lay in the fever five weeks and continues very low. Miss Peggy White is in good health and also requests me to remember her to you. It appears that the journey has been a benefit to her and Grandfather and Aunt Anna. I have heard that Mr. Fulton has sold their plantation . You may inform them that there is a plantation in Blount County for sale, five hundred and thirty -two acres of land nicely improved, one hundred of bottom land, all of good quality, the price six thousand dollars. A number more plantations in this County for sale. Please remember me to all enquiring friends, Miss Betsy Fulton in particular, please write the first opportunity the particulars of the place . I have sent two letters to Augusta, one to Uncle Daniel Henderson, another to Cousin John Alexander. I have not received any answer yet—another letter to William Thome. My reason for not writing to you sooner I was waiting to hear of Uncle William settling himself he has not purchased land yet. Aunt Anna wrote a letter to Miss Betsy Fulton, and as received no answer yet, we wrote the letters in January that we sent by the mail . Please to give respects to your father-in-laws family that is Mr. George Pilson.
Grandfather and Aunt Anna wishes you to remember them to George Pilson and family. We have had a remarkable warm winter and it appears like being a very sickly season in this country. I wrote this letter in a hurry.
I add no more at present but remain your affectionate friend and well wisher .
ALEXANDER HENDERSON.
