Ithaca Sept 1st 1878 Dear Cousin

  I do not know whether you have been informed of the death of our death mother or not.  Mr Rankin spoke of underlined: telegraphing you and uncle Hughes family at the time, but, do not know whether he did so or not.  We had so much on our hands at that time that I forgot to ask him, but of one thing I am sure, that he underlined: 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

written in left margin Mr Sherwood joins with me in love to all. Please excuse the many mistakes in this. I have not time to copy.
