Dear Aunt Sarah,
After you left last week our family was so sad, mostly me. You are so beautiful and Edward is so nice and Rachel is so cute. Thank you for our Christmas presents, my new journal is beautiful and Myles wanted to thank you for getting him the money to go to Dartmouth, it is thirty five miles away. I do not know what mothers skull and crossbones say, nor epitaph.
This week Father proposed to Karen Carter, I was glad of that. There is also some more news that happened this week, five children of the eight are sick. I am sick with a whooping cough, so I drank my medicinal and had poultice wrapped around my throat. Samuel Fuller, the physician here gave me physics at the Apothecary, I pray to God to make me better. Mary is sick with Yellow fever so she got inoculations which are told to cure epidemics like yellow fever which is also called yellow ague and small pox. Anna has Flux and Purge. Which means her stomach is not feeling well.
Karen is helping our family out with our sicknesses, as well as Rebecca. Karen is nice to Rebecca, I like Karen as our new mother. She takes care of the baby who has a problem with one of his humors. Even though Jacob is sick as well and he is not getting treated at all, Karen thinking he has Consumption, the rest of our family is doing fine.
You helped our family out a lot, thank you Aunt Sarah. I admire you for that. So are you in Jamestown? If so is it beautiful there, how is your house? Thank you again, hopefully our family gets better, Please pray with me Aunt Sarah our family has lost enough.
Thank you once more – Ruth Alden

Dear Aunt Sarah,
Thank you for praying with me, our family is better. Only Jacob is sick now. Rebecca is thinking of bloodletting him however Karen does not agree because she knows people who have died that way. Father now wants me to call Karen, mother and I must obey however will say Karen with you.
After I recovered from being sick Myles came back to visit us from Dartmouth. He said that one of us who got sick probably caught the sickness from a kid here and we brought it home and everyone else got it that is called a plague. Myles is learning a lot at school again I wish I could go. He said that we have blood circulating in our body and we are breathing air all the time which is called respiration.
Is your baby born yet? If so is it a boy or a girl? It was very nice of you for praying with me, I have a feeling that Jacob is going up with mother. Pray with me please that he is not. Samuel is still coughing so pray with me to still make our family better. This is one of my shorter letters and I hope that shorter letters are okay however I have to put Mary and Elizabeth to bed now thank you again
-Ruth Alden
