this is a trew record as it was in the old Bible, you will see that 
some of them have not the day of the month that they were born on. 
Mother's death was never put on the Bible, she died April 1863 if 
I am not mistaken.

Dear Brothers and Sister, this leaves us well as comon and we hope 
these few lines may find you the same. Your letter with one that 
we got from John the same day brought grate sorrow to us the death 
of our dear sister. The last time I saw her I left her a crying 
because I was coming west. She looked as much like living a long 
life as any of us, but alas I shal never see her any more in this 
world had I new she was so nere her death I would have come and 
saw her rite and tell me where she is berryed at and who preached 
her funeral. I saw a letter that Reece got from William he said 
her funeral was preached before she was berried. Well Jacob you 
said that times were hard out there I believe that is the cry 
everywhere everything is low here except cattle they bring a good 
price hogs are worth 3 dollars per hundred corn 15, 20 cents 
oats 15. I will close this time write soon 
J. C. Voiles to Jacob M. Voiles and family.
