User-Contributed Transcription SM HobbsMt. Washington, KyJuly 21,th 1849Mr. KenallDear SirAfter having waited anxiously, and almost abandoned the idea of receiving a letter from you, I have the pleasure of acknowledging the receipt of one to day. After giving you time to get home, to rest, and see your friends, I expected an epistle from you without fail, but none came, I then concluded that you intended to make your stay in New England so short you would obviate the necessity of writing by coming yourself. We are generally well here with some few exceptions, and have been so since your departure, we had but very little sickness and that has been confined mostly to children, there has been only one death in town since you left, that was a little child of the Peacock's. We have had not a single case of Confirmed Cholera in the town or neighborhood, between here
