   Mrs. M.E. Maddox
   Dear Sister: It is with pleasure I answer yours of July the 20th. I was truly glad to hear from you and hear that you was all well. I was sorry to hear your eyes was failing so. I think if you would wear green spectacles it would strengthen your eyes. We are all well at present. The connection is all well as far as I know.
   They has been a great deal of sickness in this neighborhood this summer. (Ireland Hill) It has been Typhoid and Bilious fever is mostly the complaint. There has been no deaths except four little children: William Gan's (William Gann) little boy and Jack Carr's (Jacob Carr) little boy, Jim Tidwell's baby and Miss Nix's baby (?) has died this summer of fever and croup. Old Mrs. Wood died of old age and Henry Logan got killed with a mill wheel. It caught his clothes and jerked him in the wheel and tore him all to pieces. He was killed in June. Mary White died on Wednesday after you left here. (All these people were neighbors of the John Nixon Wylie family in Ireland Hill, Alabama-according to 1880 census)
   Health is tolerable good now. The children is going to school to The Bottoms. (Neighbor's of the J.N. Wylie's--The Bottom family. They had a school) They are learning very well. Ben got a letter from Henry about four weeks ago. (Ben is their brother, Benjamin F. Wylie, and Henry is their brother, Henry Clay Wylie) He wrote that him and Jo was well and was yet following their same old trade. He was complaining of about you not writing to him. He said you had not wrote to him since you went to Texas. Mother (Their mother, Mary Bell Peppers Wylie) told me to write to you for her. She is well. She says her health is better than it has been since you left here. Ben's health is about like it was when you left here. They are getting along very well.
   They had had back luck with their hogs. Several of them has died. The weather is very dry and has been so dry crops is very sorry. There has been plenty of fruit. Mother has dried 2 bushels. She says she wants you to write oftener. Once a month.
   Anyway, we have just heard that Mrs. Burnett (Mary Burnett-related to the Cathern's) has got a letter from Joel. (Joel Cathern--Husband of their sister, Isabella Wylie Cathern) They have all been sick and Henry is dead is all that I have heard from it yet. (Henry; Isabella's son) Bell (Isabella Wylie Cathern, their sister) is writing me a letter. I think you will hear from them soon again.
   I will close for now. Write as soon as you can and let us hear from you.
