Dear Sir, The mistake in the name of Daniel Moody was made by me, having to often write Danville, and having made the erratum in heart.
I have corrected the error and hope you will forward the list as soon as possible as she is very poor.
I was well acquainted with Daniel Moody and his wife Lucy , from the time I was ten years old to the day of the death of Daniel my father owning mills near by their door. I am now rising fifty.
I am in the best of study yours & N. L. Ingalls
