| Summary: | Note about collecting old family letters and describing “my father’s devotion...” . The handwriting looks like Elizabeth B. Beckwith’s. It ends with: Copy Jan 30th 1887.While at my bros I collected the old
family letters and selected one for you
they call up memories of the past
memories of my father’s devotion &
care of his Mother & her children.
What a son and brother, he never
deserted any, never refused to help
any who called upon him for aid,
restricted himself and family,
sent money
and in turn each year to his Mother
& her young family, and in turn
took them to his humble home and
provided for them with a willing
heart & mind.
