Mother to leave hear dear babes but in
This instance it is more to be lamen
Ted than in among others you did
Not mention them in your letter ?

The particulars of her last hours
And of her dare Children all we
Know is that she is no more
How glad I feel I was p…
To see her when down & ? there told
Me her wish to be intention

A punishment no I think it is to
Warn us of our near approach to

disputes rise among us but let us
strive to live in love and affection
with each other for we are only four.

Your dear Children I hope they are
Quite well I often think of
