      Old Family Letter

      "To Mr. Barichiah Bassett, Lowville, Lewis C

      Flori
      September the 8th, 1820

      Dear children,
      I take up my pen to write you a few lines to let you know that we are
      all well, except myself. I have been very unwell for about four weeks, unable
      to do anything, got a little better, fell and hurt my shoulder very much. I
      hope these lines will find you and yours enjoying health and prosperity which
      is the greatest thing we can enjoy here below.
      I have not much news to write to you. Old Mrs. Hillman is dead -
      Edmond Hillman is dead. A number of other deaths I don't mention, your uncle
      Mervy is very low. We don't expect that he will continue long, the rest of the
      family is well. We have a very dry season, summer crops very light - do write
      me a line by Mr. Millard as I expect he will come back by the village, as I am
      anxious to here from you all, My love to you and family, and all the rest of
      your brothers and familys. Nathan Bassett

      (on back of page)
      Do try to come and see once more if you think its worthwhile. We are poor, but
      not withstanding that, we would be glad to see you and all friend
      M. Bassett and family is well. Miss Bassett sends her love to you and
      family and all inquiring friends. So I must conclude stating myself your
      father and well wisher until death. Nathan Bassett

      Barichiah Bassett
      Olive and Charlott send their love to you and all friends that inquire
      after them.
