  I do not know whether you have been informed of the death of our death mother or not.  Mr Rankin spoke of telegraphing you and uncle Hughes family at the time, but, do not know whether he did so or not.  We had to much on our hands at that time that I forgot to ask him, but of one thing I am sure, that he intended to do so.  My brother came on with his whole family, six in number which made considerable for us to do, and I have found it impossible to write sooner.  We were considerably worn out with care and watching, as my sister and I were with her every night and day during the last week
