Transcription	Bloomington, Feby 10, 1859, Dear bro. Andrew, After an illness of one short week our dear old Mother breathed her last. She died of typhoid pneumonia. Last night, Feby 10, at 3 o'clock in the morning she breathed her last. I was with her when she expired in the arms of Dr. Dodds who constantly watched with her for four nights, never leaving the room. I think he did everything he could do, but it was all of no avail, for you know death is the sentence passed upon all. Poor dear Mother seemed to suffer greatly for three or four days and nights previous to her departure. I do not think she knew her end was drawing nigh until the same
