the My
lastdea dear
~—I have not
time
e I wrote ye. I have moved from the place where I now
live, or I should have written to you before. I did not
know where a letter might find you first ; but I now take my
pen in hand to drop you a few lines, to inform you of the
death of your own living uncle, Kilpatrick. He died very
suddenly, after a long illness of six months. Poor man, he
suffered a great deal. He lay a long time in convulsions,
perfectly quiet and speechless, and all the time talking in-
coherently and inquiring for water. I'm very much at a
loss to tell ye what his death was occasione
ckd at ; but the
he
doctor thinks it was occasioned by his last siness, for
was not well 10 days during his confinement. His age ye
know just as well as I can tell ye ; he was 25 years old last
March, lacking 16 months ; and if he had lived till this time
he would have been six months dead, jist. N.B. Take
notis, I inclose to you a tin pound note, which your fartht r
sends to you unbeknown to me. Your mother often speaks
of ye ; she would like to send ye the brindle cow, and I
would enclose her till ye but for the horns. I would beg of
ye not to brake the sale of this until two or three days after
ye have read it, for which time yell be better prepared for
the sorrowful news.—Patrick O'Branigan. To Michael
