Mr Armistead Wier.
Dear Sir
Again I
hurridly snatch a few moments from
my household duties this morning to
write you a letter for your brother as well
as myself. Your last letter acknowledge
-ing the receipt of the money sent you
some time ago, gave your broth
-er much satisfaction – and should
(as your requested) been answered immediately
but extreme sickness prevented. Your
brother has just recovered from a severe
and dangerous spell of sickness, for
several days we were almost ready to
despair of his life – but Providence has
kindly spared his life for some wise
purpose. He was sick about four weeks
and at the same time your son John
& wife were both confined to their beds
very sick with Billious fever. Johns health
seems very delicate, we have had a very
sick family all the summer & fall, both
white and black, hence we are very
backward gathering our crop, & must loose
