Cherrys, Gooseberrys, Raspberreis, and fine vegetables,
and she would eat every thing and
as much as she wanted, said she had
allways done it, and it would not hurt her,
her Funeral was preached in the Baptist
Church in Richmond by Mr. E. Burnam
and she was buried in the Cemetary in the
Lott opposite mine and Mr. Rodes's.
I shall miss her more than any of the
family, I have not been seperated from
her scarcely a day since she came to live
with me, she selected the clothes she wished
put on her, and the Hymn she wanted
sung at her Funeral, she was the youngest
and had the most pleasant countenance, I
ever looked at, I regretted so much you, and
Brutus did not see her, he was not at home.
I would have liked so much for my Fathers
remains to have been moved at that time.
your friends are all well, Speed joins me
in much love to you, I hope the Lord
will spare our lives, and that we will meet again,
affectionately your sister Eliza L Smith
