As Georgia & Florence will see you ere this reaches Hamilton you will have heard how we all are. I will not trust myself to hope & see your father tonight_ I would only be the more disappointed
I wish you could send me the quinine _ the longer you delay the fewer there will be __
I told Georgia to tell you a beef is to be killed tomorrow for the negros
of which I shall get a piece & if you would send I would give you a wee bit - I shall put Charley to pick cotton tomorrow & dare not send [Mily?] with it —
Kiss the dear babies for us - I would give Willie 10 or 15 drops Paregoric tonight
God! bless you all Your Mother A M K
Mr Couper
I am glad dearest child to hear that your dear boy suffers less - that he is better but truly distressed to hear that your precious little Anna is now undergoing her share of sickness — do my child be careful not to let it get struck in. I know it will be more difficult for you to keep her confined than you do poor little Willie - kiss them both for me & tell dear little Anna I will come & see her this evening if it does not rain too much
Your dear father was very unwell last night but
he is up this morning and about his business
The rest of us as usual our love to William
If you will send over early tomorrow I hope to send you a piece of beef — for I shall be obliged to beg your father to sacrifice another as I am literally out All send love to you both & kisses to the dear chicks
your Mother A M K
