Galesburg Ill May 2nd 1853

Dear Brother: I am under the sad necessity of writing you the unwelcome news that Abby is dead - She died about 7 o'clock this evening - She had been as ? as usual - we had seen no perceptible change in her for some time - She thought that she felt better and was improving she eat her supper about 6 o'clock, sit down and talked as usual - About 7 she arose walked across the room to the lounge, sit down, and sunk right down and was gone in less than two minutes - she hardly gasped - you know my situation. Yet you cannot realize it; still I know you have a noble and generous soul and one that can sympathize with a Brother thus situated. Please inform the Temple of Honor and Social Degree of her death - My feelings are to much affected to permit me to write more -

Your Brother P. R. Kendall
