As there was still a good-deal of casting to make, the ship had been brought close to the wind on the port tack; the bowlines steadied out, but not dragged, every sail a good rap full, "fast asleep," without the tremor of an eyelid, if I may so style a weather leach, or of any inch of the canvas, from the royals down to the courses. ❋ Unknown (1877)

Yours of the 22nd came to hand in due time and a little sooner or a little shorter time on the road than usual and ought to have been answered sooner but for the fact that I have still been very busy and have not had time hope that I will get time after awhile to write in daytime a thing which I have not had time to do for months past the children have had their letters written for several days waiting on me I tried to get them to write as much more but it is a right smart task to them to write and I dont think they have done it I have just gotten through with the threshing machine not quite either have had it three times since harvest will have to get it again at the clover [unclear: Hulled] which is pretty much the same thing to thresh my clover seed, I am happy to inform you that we are all well I have been better this summer I think than usual have had less of my pain I think than usual have a slight attack of it at this time but not near so bad as usual, Lillie complaining a good-deal which makes me feel a little uneasy about her complains very often of head-ache Willie and Emma are quite well Willie looks quite thin as you will see from his likeness but dont complain is hearty enough and seems to be a little more fleshy now than he was a week or so ago Emma is quite fat and saucy but I cant get her to quit stooping her shoulders I have been and sallie too a good-deal discouraged about their arithmetic [they] it seems to be so hard for them to understand little examples Willie particularly things that they have been over they seem to get bothered and cant get it in their head. ❋ D.

My Dear brother dont give yourself any uneasiness about your children I know it is natural but we will try and take as good care of them as you would I dont think we are at all partial we try to treat them exactly as we do ours any accident or misfortune that [illeg.] happen them here might happen them there, We are all in the hands of an overruling providence nothing can happen us without his permission, there is one thing that disturbs one a good-deal I feel that great responsibilities rest upon me the children are very fond of running about through the orchard yard & and playing about on sunday I dont permit them to do it and yet I dont like to keep them confined too closely for fear they get to dislike the day I always thought I was confined too closely on sundays when I was small but perhaps it was best for me, My dear brother remember me in your prayers that I may have grace given me to discharge my duties I have been elected to an office in the church which I dont feel like I was capable of filling at all at the same time the duties of an elder in the church are but little more than the duties of a private christian I hardly know what I ought to do yet I must decide before long [unclear: O for] grace to teach me my duty and to assist me in the faithful discharge of every duty incumbent on me, three others were elected at the same time but dont know whether any of them will accept Mr Raymond a brother-in-law of John Guthrie Wm [unclear: Shing] and Brown Patterson ❋ D.

Calbreath has turned out badly is carrying on a distillery on the old place and is in the habit of drinking himself A great many persons think there is nothing to be made here farming now when labour is all to hire but when we are so successful in cropping as we have been this year I think we can make something although our expenses are very heavy there was finer crops of wheat made in this country [this year] than has been made before I suppose for ten years and then we may calculate again for ten years more there wont be near as large crops of corn made as there was last year My crop started very badly in the spring and I had almost despaired of a corn crop this year but rains set in about the right time and has been showery so I will make a good-deal of corn having cut about 40 acre if frost keeps off long enough though last night was very cool and so is to night I saw John Hamilton to day and he said there was frost last night said there could be no mistake about it that he examined closely and saw some on clover but there was certainly none to do any damage, but I dont like to hear of it am affraid it may come before corn is out of the way of it ❋ D. V. Gilkeson (1867)
Your letter has remained already too long unanswered but I suppose I had better answer it now than leave it longer, yours was received just as I was on the eve of starting to the springs and since I have returned my time has been taken up with one thing and another until I have put it off until the present, it is now Andrews time to write but as he has some other letters to answer I will write supposing that it makes no difference to you so it is a letter from home; I am sorry to inform you that mother is again very poorly she was taken on tuesday morning last and has been quite unwell since we have had the [unclear: Dr] in to see her he has been here twice I think mother is worse this morning we all went to bed last night we left a candle burning in the room father saw that he could give her any thing she needed in the night I got up about two o; Clock an hour ago and found she had rested pretty well until about 12 but since that time she has been restless I concluded to stay up til morning, she bids fair to have a bad spell and I think it impossible for her to stand a bad spell now as she is at best very weak, I [dont] see that there is much change on cousin Nancy Marshall she returned about a week ago from Bath where she had been for two months nearly she is very poorly and very feeble Tom is right unwell at this time and has been for two weeks or more he was complaining of a disordered stomach and above (or below) that his horse jumped with him one day and came near smashing one of his privates it has been swelled terribly the Dr told him that unless he was careful he would have to have it taken out it is now better but still he is not well he suffers sometimes a good-deal of pain with it, the rest of the friends I believe are well and not much sickness in the country I forgot Wm Guthrie has been very unwell for a month or more past but is now better and the friends are easy about him there was some time that they though that he would not get well his disease first was dysentery or flux and settled into inflamation of the bowels, you will perhaps [will] ask why I was at the springs I reply to get an apetite I have not had any apetite hardly since I left Ga last spring a year. ❋ D.
