The following letter is from Rebecca to her son David.This was taken from the August 2, 1928 edition of the Pickens County Progress, Jasper, Georgia.

State of North Carolina,Montgomery County

November 3, 1826

Dear Son and Daughter:

I gladly embrace this opportunity of writin to you that I am well at present, thanks be to God for His mercies, hoping that this my letter may find you and your families enjoying good health. I am living with my son Benjamin, on Long Creek and I am very satisfied. You wrote to us to know what sort of crops there were here. I answer bad enough:The spring and the fore part of the summerer were remarkably dry. The crop of wheat was not very good and the oat crop was almost entirely lost. The prospect of corn crop was so gloomy that it appeared thatwe must certainly sufferthough about harvest it become more seasonable and I think there is plenty of corn made in this section of country.

We received your letter on the 30th day of October which gave me great satisfaction to hear that you were all well, altho it would be a good deal more pleasure to me to see you all than to hear of you.

You wrote to me to know where Susanna lived.We received a letter from her the first of July last that gave us great satisfaction to hear that they were all well at that time and also well satisfied with their country.They live in Tennysee state, Bledsoe County.They wrote to us if we wrote to them to direct our letters to Pickinsville post office.They wrote to us that they had received a letter from Cousin Robert, dated October 12th, 1825, which informed them that they were all well at thet time.He lives in Tennysee state, Perry county.Also we received letters from Cousins Sampson and Leonard on the 1st of July, 1826, which gave us much satisfaction to hear that they were all well at that time.They live in Kentucky, Warren County.Sampson lives in about four miles of Martinsville post office.

Ther has been the sickliest times in this section that I ever saw and the slow fever is in places yet and I will send the names of them of your acquaintances that are dead:George Springer and Peter Tucker died one in the morning and the other in the evening and were both carried to the grave in one wagon together; old Mrs Betsy Snow and Suzanna Cagle, Cou. George's wife, who died in September last; and Andrew Watt, Isham Honeycutt, Nehemiah Hearn and a number of others.I want to be remembered to relations and inquiring friends, so no more at present, but remain your affectionate mother until death.

Rebecca Cagle
