Stagville June 14th 1804

I was very glad to hear my dear Duncan Cameron that you did not suffer so much from the excessive heat of the sun on Sunday as I was apprehensive you would & as the weather had turned much cooler I hope you will get over the fatique of the courts without geting sick. I hope to see you the last of next week. Our dear little girl and the White family are quite well. Poor Agga was attacked the night before you were at the platation with a kind of derangement which continued but for a short time, it returned upon her again on Saturday. The overseer sent down on Sunday and my Brother went up and had her brought down on Monday we sent for Doctor [Umstiad] who says her case is not dangerous one but that it may be some time before she recovers. The family unite with me in love to you. Adieu my beloved Husband may kind Heaven bless & protect you
