Waynesville, Warren County, Ohio
April 8th 1849
Dear Brother and Sister, I take this opportunity of informing you that we are 
all well at the present, with the exception of a cold, and hoping that these 
few lines will find you all well. I have but few words to say. My father and 
mother is deceased [this] mother has been dead 3 years last fall and father has 
been dead 5 years [Dec.?]
Orphdra lives on Flat Fork near Henpeck and Jake lives down near to Palmyra and 
Sister Ruth is dead and buried about 1 year, and I live near to the town of 
[Morrisville?] Ohio and I am very sorry to tell you the bad luck that I have 
had. I have had 12 live born children and out of them all 1 left and he is a 
great big fellow now and is nine in May and my wife is not so healthy has she 
might be. She is too delicate made to be healthy as most women.
You might come and see me once more in your life. You must think yourself above 
me because you are a little better off in the world than me, but mind you that 
isn't the way to get along in this world for you won't be here always nor your 
wealth won't get you to heaven you may rely upon it. You might sell there and 
come and buy here for you can do as well here as you can there. You might think 
enough of me as to fetch your wife and see me for I can't come as well as you 
can. You haven't nothing to hinder you from it as I have. You now that I have 
not the extra that you have and I would like to see your wife as well as you if 
you would I would like you to come and see me. Send me a letter to let me know 
where you are and how you are getting along in these times and if you think 
yourself a brother to me, you might come and see me once in your [  ]. Come 
this summer and you might come and [bring] your family along as you haven't 
written me for so long a time I would like to hear from you this [trip?]. So 
you may think hard of me on this the price of [   ] is from 60 to 70 cents 
[more on prices per bushel of things I can't make out] 

I must bring this to a close so nothing more at present but ever remain your 
affectionate friend and brother and sister. Please to write as soon as you 
receive this, if you please without fail, if one won't do, send two, and then I 
will know where you are.
Isaac Cazart
Sarah Cazart

Additional Comments:
This letter was sent to Daniel Cazart, who lived in Greene County PA. Note they 
are spelling the surname differently than they did in prior letters, but it 
could have been written for them by someone different. What Isaac did not know 
is that his brother Daniel had died in 1841, and was not ignoring his letters. 
This letter was received by Daniel's wife and children.
"Orphdra" is their sister, married to John Thompson; Jake is their brother; 
Ruth was another sister, married to John Reagan.

Sadly, around this time Isaac's wife Sarah also left him and ran off with 
another man.
