My Dear Mrs. Montgomery.
I received the letter of Rev. Mr. Davis last week informing me of my brother's illness & requesting to see me. I will state that I have been most anxious to go, but on account of the sickness of my wife, I could not start at once. I now write to know if my brother Alexander is still alive, if so I will start immediately, as my wife is now out of danger & I feel that I can leave her with safety. By writing as soon as you receive this you will very much oblige.
Very Truly Yours, John Montgomery.
