Aug the 22, 1884 Dear Son & Daughter, I with pleasure take my pen in hand to inform you on present time. We received your letter last Sunday and was proud to see your pictures. Jo, yours favor you more than Josys did her! But you never said nothing about whether you was well or not, and what is the reason you never said nothing about the baby? (Talitha apparently referring to Eli Sasser, II, who was born on June 2, 1884.) We have had some awful dry hot weather. It has not rained any to say for about two months, but it a little apearing of rain today. Joe, Jim Mccurg(?) said if Henry would wanted to come, to let him know it. He would send him the money to come on, if to the amount of $100. He said that he had written to you for 6 or 7 months and had got no answer, so you can tell Henry this. You wanted to know what was the reason we didn't answer your letter that was written the Fifteenth of June. We had just started one a few days before that. George has been down with the fever. He is on the mend though now, & Billy had the fever about a month ago, and got well. They is a heap of sickness in this country at this time. It is a kind of fever a going through the country. The rest of the family is well, except myself. I am not well nor never expect to be anymore. Eli (?) and Nancy Tuttle married last Wednesday. So I must close by saying write soon from Talitha C. Taylor |
