 Description: I am pleased to have the pre- viledge in life to address this letter to you -& while I am having it pened, I feel truly sensible of the good providence of God in pre- serving me with health & strength & a sound disposal to write. I feel sensible how pleased you will be to hear from me as well as other friends at my old home & I pray the Lord that all of you are well & doing well. One so far off as I am—it may appear upon imagination that I am almost out of the World. We are all well & myself & wife join in love to you. Your letter afforded me much pleasure be cause it imparted satisfactory intelligence about my children. Myself and daughter have the fever slightly but never laid up a day. My wife have not been laid up a day neither. David has not been sick at all Poor Thomas is dead. He followed his old habbits of running about, he went away from home, and spent some time, and re turned with the fever lived 8 days and died Mary is well and hearty, a very fine girld and industrious. Her mother suffered much with the fever at Clay Ashland-but has improved considerable. We are living & do as well as we can—and we are much pleased with our home & country. Though should you & I live, I expect in a few years to see you again & should we not live—pray God that we may meet in heaven.

 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-Liberianletters 
 Description: I seat myself once more to write you to in- form you that I am still with my family in the land among the living, for which I am more than thankful to God. I can truly say that the Lord has been good to us since we have been in this land in sparing our lives. My daughter instead of the little girl I brought with me is now taller than her mother. She has grown much indeed and with her mother is enjoying good health. It has been now about 4 years since I have heard from you and I must say I am over axious to hear from you once more— more so since I heard the war is about over. It must indeed have been dreadful to be in a land as America has been for the last four years— covered with all the horrors of war. But I hope it will not be long ere peace shall again be de clared and when the sound of the battle shall no more be heard. In your last letter you requested me when I write to inform you how I was am getting along. At present I am doing pretty well. I am paying the mass of my attention to the growing of cane of which I have about 8 acres. I made this year 8000 pounds of sugar which was said to be the best made around here. It is true that it is a new country, and we have many hardships to un- dergo, but by God's blessings and an effort on one's side he can get along. Here I have realized the meaning of the words: Sitting under one's own vine and fig tree and none daring to molest or make afraid. The only thing that grieves me, is that I cannot enjoy it with my children. were they with me I should be perfectly satisfied. To be so far separated from them is indeed an afflic- tion hard to bear.
