the malady has nearly spent its force, and our af-

flicted people may soon be relieved from this

awful visitation. With my best wishes for your

health and happiness,

I am, your friend, & obt. Sevt.

N.B. I am almost worn down

with care and nursing, and

I am fearful I shall not be able

to reach Austin as early as I

anticipated. But, as soon as I

can come, in justice to those depen-

dent upon me, I will come.
