Dear Sir
By request of my dear Aunt I address you to convey the painful tidings of poor Uncle's demise and as you told her you knew of a certain way of communicating directly with Coz. Michael she wishes you to endeavor to let him know the event, that there may be no way left untried, with which to acquaint him of it. Dear Uncle Goodman (peace to his soul!) died this morning at quarter of three—suffering excruciatingly but conscious to

the last tho' unable to speak.
Yours affectionately with kind regards
Myrtilla J. Davis.
