This City is more sickly than usual, we have many cases of the scarlet fever, and a great many are fatal. George O. Payn died last sunday, from two days illness, and Miss Catherine Hunt breathed her
last, last night. She was also sick but a few days. Many others have died lately that would be too tedious to name.

Sarah Jane Higgin has visited us this spring. She spoke of you very friendly, and requested me to give you her love, the first time I wrote you.

Mr Clary was so polite as to call and see me after his return home. The account he gave me of you was truly pleasing to me. You can have no idea how gratefull it was to my heart to hear what he told me
of you. I was then prostrate on the bed of disease, and my spirits as low as possible. He says you have got your portrait taken. You must send it to us by all means, I am extremely anxious to have it.
I am told you have grown quite prity boy.

Mr Christy is still out of business. He is collecting his debts so as to be able to commence business this fall. they board in the house, kept formerly by Mrs Boges. Dr Cochran keeps it at this time.
Maganetta has very bad health. I think she is not happy that her husband is not in some way of making money, but she says nothing. I asked you some questions in my two last letters that
you have not noticed. Toby is well, and with Robert yet. When shall I see you. I wish you would make it convenient soon. Your uncle returned yesterday from Owinton. The first question he asked was,
if we had heard from you in his absense. I beg of you to write as soon as you receive this. I am all impatience to hear from you. I have not heard from Fanny since I wrote you. In two weeks I must
hear from you.

your affectionate friend & mother B. Sloan
