Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription when in Marietta that contained her death. I have it in my possession and will send it to you with this letter. I put it away when we first got it to keep but if you have now it is yours. I would like to have you come this way when you return home if you should and make us a visit we do not live in style, but if we can have health we ought not to complain. My own health is not as good as I could wish but Mother thinks if I would wean my baby I may be better and I am going to try it pretty soon she is now a little over eighteen months old, and a great hearty girl she is too. Write soon and please excuse all mistakes from your sister I would write oftener if I could find time.From your sisterA.L. CreighbaumAugusta Stedman
