Dear angel Mother and Brothers and Sisters,

I embrace this opportunity of writing unto you to let you know that I am well at present and hoping these few lines will find you in the same state of health. And I (should be?) very glad to see you all (if) it was possible, and I want some of you to move out to this country if you can (possibly?), for I am not satisfied in the way I am living, for my companion is no comfort to me for he drinks, by times very hard, and when he is in drink, I see no peace with (man?).

Jerow is married and has three children, 2 boys and one girl, and he lives in about a mile of us. And David is married and has one boy and lives some distance from us. And Daniel Denton (follows singing

When you write to us, I want you to send my age for I have forgotten it, and direct your letter to Abingdon post office, Washington County,

Mary Denton has got well of her lameness and she desires to be remembered to you all, especially to her aunt, Polly (Suett -- probably Shuart) And Betsy remembers her love to you all. Her (granny is important to her?) and I have had six children, four boys and two girls and five of them is living. And the three youngest's names is William and Elias and Martha and the children all remember their love to you all.

I send this hair that is the letter to my mother. This hair was cut out of Deborah Denton's head. And I want to be remembered to you all.

We want you to write the first opportunity. We had a very hard hail the first of June so that it cut down fields of grain that had 50 acres in and it is (allowed?) that it done a thousand dollar's damage.

And so, no more at present, but remain your affectionate son and daughter until death.

James and Deborah Denton

(Nathaniel Hull -- his hand) (son of Ezekiel)
