I informed you in that letter of Uncle Archibald McPherson's death. He died October the 29th 1848. He left a wife and two children, both girls. His oldest daughter Mary Jane is now nearly 18 years of age. The other is the youngest child that aunt had is now nearly 2 years old. It's name is Tempy. Her oldest daughter Elizabeth, the one she had before she and uncle was married, is still living with her and is single but is the mother of two children and will be the mother of how many more I cannot tell and neither do I no whether old master knows or not. Uncle when he died left aunt a handsome little living and she appears to improve it veyr well so far. I think she will make two hundred bushels of corn this year and potatoes and other vegetables in porportion. The property he left her wa! s ! 3 head of horses, between 30 and 40 head of cattle and about two hundred head of hogs. I will say to you father and mother is well though they are advancing in years. Mother has had 10 children but only 6 living. I am the only living son. Sister Mary the oldest is married. I am the 2nd and am single. I have not heard of Uncle Elias Strickland since May 4, 1848. He was then well and doing well. I made a mistake. I heard from him this last spring. They are all well.
