My dear Sister:
     Mrs. Hoge & I found the General worse this morning. He had been sinking during the morning but is doing better now the Drs. think.
     Mrs. J. is very much afflicted. Mrs. H's arrival is very timely, and will prove of great consolation to Mrs. Jackon. I will try to let you know about the Gen. as often as possible.
          I am
               With much love
                    Your aff. brother
                         Jas. P. Smith
