I have attempted to post these letters to the Athens
web site, but am not sure they received them. You can
share them with anyone. I am interested in any
descendants of Waldren Williams or John Sloan. Here is
another letter found in the same bible.



Pratts Fork, Ohio

Feb. 16, 1886
Mr. Esbon Sloan,


Dear, Brother

It has been a long time since we heard from you but
hope you & family
are well. We are well here as usual. I have just had a
severe attact of 
rheumatism am better now, Sally has been complaining
some with rheumatism 
though she has been better this winter than she has
been in a long time. 
Orinda is so big and fat you would hardly know her.
When you answer tell 
us something about Ruth and her family, if she still
lives in Kentucky. We 
have had quite an open winter sofar with but little
frost this month. I am 
getting in logs for a saw set on the place to come
after harvest next. 
Corn here is woorth 45 to 50 cts per bush and wheat
75. The new crop of 
wheat at this time does not look as well as I have saw
wheat look in 
other years. Roads here now are almost impassable. Mud
so deep, it has rained 
more than half the time since this month come in.
Hoping to hear from you by 
return mail, I remain as ever Yours. 
W. S. Williams
