Hampton, Ark.
Sept 20, 1887

Mrs. Elizabeth Bridges
Senoia, Ga.

Dear Aunt,

I write to you to notify you of Aunt Prissie’s (?) death, she died on the
eighth of this month, she suffered a great deal before she died the cancer
broke out again and got in both of her breasts, she could not raise her head
off of her breast it was drawn that way, she was perfectly helpless three weeks
before she died her left side was paralyzed even to her tongue. She was ready
and willing to go said she had made peace with God.

It was awful hard to give her up but God does all things for the best. Papa is
going to the office and is waiting for my letter so I will close. He would be
very glad to hear from you, will write you again concerning Aunt Prisses death
as I haven’t time to write much now.

All well. Crops are burned nearly up, haven’t had any rain in two months.

Write to us soon.

Love to all of the family and yourself. Papa says write to him and tell him all
the news.

Your niece,
Dela M. Moses
