1863 May 4, Cedar Villa, Hamilton Co., OH. Ada Wyckoff wrote her cousin Tighlman Jones: "I received a letter from cousin Jane Love last week / they have moved to Illinois. Her address is Ashkum Illinois. I know she is a [d]ear good girl / I wish little Lillias was here awhile untill we could learn her to sew and knit and do a great many things that your Pa cant learn her. Poor man / what a charge he has but he bears it well. I was in hopes he would move in here and rent a house and shop and I would have kept house for him. Cousin Jane says she will keep house for him this summer if Rebeccas health gets better. I hope it will for your Pa needs a housekeeper badly."

Though laboring at great disadvantages yet we manage to live very comfortably, and not go in debt. --excerpt from letter written by ZILLMAN JONES to his brother, TIGHLMAN; from typed transcription of original courtesy John Harper, February 2001; punctuation added; also in Five Days to Glory, 153-54.
