Springfield Feb 19th My Dear Parents with an heavy heart I take up my pen to communicate to you the mournful tidings of the death of my dear Juliette she is gone to the silent grave she died the same day Mr Hayden set out his journey she was taken the day before at noon & died the next day at sunset I supposed it was unsure but after hear death but is is thought by the doctor she had this fever that prevails among us I had no thought of her being in any danger till about two hours before she died she then appeared to be deranged and died with out a struggle, I earnestly hope she is gone to join the Heavenly hosts with one eternal song of praise her redeemer.
