- Dear Brother 24 October 1825
I have not heard from you now for a long time and I was muchpleased to get word from you by the bearer, and I now embrace thisopportunity of writing to you. I do not know whether you have heard ofmother's death which took place two years ago last March. I supposeyou have heard of brother James' death, he died in Cincinnati aboutsix years ago. Brother Joseph lost his wife and is married the secondtime, he had four children by his first wife, he is well, his familyis doing pretty well. I have seen brother John and his family is well.
I am living near Carlisle with Mr. Thomas Trimble. I have myhealth pretty well generally. I wish you would write to me and let meknow everything about your family and if you have had any word fromSarah Linn or Rebecca McKim. I have not heard a word from them thislong time. John Steele is gone to the western country somewhere but Icannot tell where. I hope you will write to me shortly, direct yourletter to me near Carlisle. I add no more but remain your affectionatesister.
