Wendsday the 18^th Dear and loved one of Mister Courtright I take my pen to inform you that your loved hisband is at rest where the thunder of war can not disturb his repose he had [?] he was fully resigned to the will of God [?]

 

and as he can come to you no more prepare to

I know full well tis hard to part but with you

no hop of ever meeting him againe and engoy

in heaven for there is many that die the

whitch is worse than all the rest your hisband

about five o clock he now is at rest the

rests with the weary in heaven and may it be

him there I know how to pity you I have

and am sick in the same room with him

but when I lift my loved wife I left her in

if we never never met on earth againe
