- Dear Brother and Sister,.
- I take my pen in hand to inform you of the death of your Father. He departed this life on Sunday 30th of Nov. 1845, 12 o'clock. We got abord of the boat on friday night after we left you and on friday evening Father had something similar to a fit but recovered in a few minutes and said he observed that he was afraid that it fits a working on him and he had no mor of them until Saturday evening about 5 o'colck in Louisville he had another spell of the same kind. Also on Sunday morning he had another on the boat after we landed at Cincinnati. We landed about 10 o'clock and I left Susan and Father at Corwiners? boarding house until I came home after the wagon and when I returned I found him a corpse. He was taken as before and died instantly and we brought him home that night all the way after night with nobody but our two selves and we had a very serious time and he was butied in the Methodist grave yard on five mile on Monday at four o'clock. The balance of us is as well as usual and we want you to be certain and come up in the spring if you don't before and we will have the business all straightened and if you want to move up, write to me and you shall have what ground you want. So nothing more at present but we remain your affectionate brothers and sisters until death..
