Dear Madam 

I beg to thank you for your rec'd letter of the 13th inst. which I have read with great sympathy and I quite fully. Understand what a horrible blow the early death of your good son must have been to you. Nearly two years ago I have lost a bright girl of nearly 10 years of age whom
we shall never forget! God, our Father in Heaven only can truly be you and Mr. Clark's comfort, His holy will be done and His name be praised! I showed and translated your kind letter to Mrs. Hilt (?) showed her over your letter then but I am exceeding sorry to say that the Dollar you mentioned in your letter then was not found enclosed, it must have been forgotten then by you to put it in the letter or should the letter been opened on the road and the Dollar fallen out? I don't think so as I carefully looked at the Envelop and could not find any
trace of its having been opened. I remember poor Mr. Haag who died here on Mt. Carmel or rather in our Colony some 3 years ago, we know his grave very well but after him have been buried so many other people that it was impossible to bury you son on his side, each
of them has his own grave but they are not far from each others. praise your plans to erect a headstone on your son's grave, $50 will be quite sufficient for the cost of putting up such a marble stone. have got the various accounts for attendance, grave, burial of your good son, we all should be thankful to get the amounts of these bills soon, everybody needs his money in this poor country. 

With my kindest regards to you and your dear family. I beg to remain, dear Madam

Your friend, Dr. Fehaurt.
