Dear Brother,

Your letter of May the 18th was received yesterday evening that gave inteligence of little Temple’s death. It was truly a heart rending to give up a member of the family that is so near and dear. [and dear?] By the tithes of nature, I was grieved to hear of that dispensation of providence, but we should always be resigned to our maker’s will I learn from yor leter that Tilda has diphthera. I fear that you will all have a troublesome time with that disease. I had just written to you yesterday evening and hadent mailed it when your leter came in. I thought this morning I would write a fiew lines and send it with the other letter.

Your affectionate brother,
Jas. R. Smith.
Mr. Stephen M. Smith.
Mrs. Mary G Smith.
