Letter
Belfast Mills, VA
April 14, 1874
Mr. Wm. Taylor
Dear Sir;
I write you now to let you know that Capt Wm Cromwell is no more. He died on Sabbath morning last the 12th Inst. I was to see him on Friday before, he seemed to be perfectly sensible, and talked a great deal about your wife and you-- and said if he lived until fall, he wanted you to come and take him home with you-- but "alas" he has paid the debt we all owe--
He made provision for having tombstones put on his and Aunt Jannie's graves.
Your father is very ill--not expected to live long
Respectfully yours etc
A. C. Ferguson
[Belfast Mills is in Russell County near the Smyth and Washington Counties line. . .bb]
