The lines are what I could not read.  The words in parenthesis is what she 
meant to say and the spelling was bad.


Additional Comments:
My grandfather (Kirby Charles Carmack) left an old old briefcase with my 
mother.  She was kind enough to let me go through it and make copies of the 
items.  Lots of 1800 letters in there.  There are several that mention Nancy 
Tull.
