Staunton, Sept. 11, 68, Dear Son we received your letter on Saturday last. I was glad to hear of your whereabouts we are all tolerable well now I scarcely know how to write to you I feel so bad myself. Pa has got one of his oldfashioned spells and cannot accomplish anything. Riley wants his share of the corn cut up Pa thinks he cant do it and I fear I cant prevail on him to hire anybody to help do it. I know not what will be the result. I am greatly at a loss what course to pursue but dont let it disturb you. I should have said nothing about it. I have written to uncle Wm. but as yet got no answer perhaps I may to day.
