letter that I am ungrateful for your kindness. Ah; no, never can we forget 
those kind acts. I haven't been well for some time, indeed scarcely feel able 
to write this evening. We all are very grateful to you for the sketch of the

Additional Comments:
This letter was found in the personal documents of Dr. A.H. Sneed, my Great,

on his property next to his home in Forsyth, Monroe County, GA. There is a 
historial marker in place.
