My Dear Father I take the opportunity
of writing these few lines hoping to
find you still in good health. I
thought it strange I could not get
no answer for I wrote three
letters to you since I went to the
western part of this country
but I would like to know if the girls
are well as I have not got any word
from them this two years and I would
like to know if Sarah is still with
you. My Dear Father I would like to
if you and Sarah would come to this country
I will send your passages in the
next letter if you say you and Sarah
will come tell me in your next if
Hugh Sannahan is well or if he
is married.
and let me know if John Hagan
wife and family is all well Dear Father
we have got three of a family
John Edward and Sarah
And are all well And we all join
in sending our best respects and love
to you and Sarah no more at present
from your kind and affectionate son
and daughter for ever we will have
more information in the next
