Children (11):
I am favored once more with an opportunity of writing a few lines to you. I feel very happy to hear from Lena Castner that you and your family were all in good health, and all our connections in your country seem to same inestimable blessing. Your poor unworthy brother has suffered very much this two years past under the afflictive hand of providence. Last fall was a year I took the fever and again the Ist October and it continued with me till the 10th of February, then I was taken with the Typhus billious fevers which brought me nearly to the verge of the grave but
blessed be the name of the Lord he has delivered me through all my troubles and diseases and I still remain one of the monuments of his Mercy. I would wish to be resigned and say Lord thy will be done, I have been some sick this fall but am now in the recovery but feel very weak, whilst writing this letter. I would wish you to write to me what the profits of our land amounts to yearly and whether our land is divided from John’s with a good fence and whether the land is getting better or worse. I think if Brother Morris has a chance of selling the land at a tolerable good price, we had better agree to sell it together and not divide at all. I think you had best buy me out it will be valuable some day being so near the County town. Please to answer this as convenient. We all join in sending our respects to you, Brother Morris and family. Don't forget to give our respects to Aunt Ann, Aunt Mary, Uncle Joe, all our relations. No more at present. Your Brother Peter Supplee”’ “Address: Rachel Sheppard
