ON THE FUTURE GENERATION
1 have done nought against my brother as
has been told; l swear that I've never pro-
cured any medicines of any kind, or in any
manner from an apothecary. Mr.. Engelhart
has waited upon my brother Rudolph, up to
his last hour, and has brought the medicines
with him or sent for the same through Mr..
Lehman who attended my brother Rudolph
also At the death of my brother Henry, a
number of doctors attended him during his
illness, and each gave his opinion that there
was no hope for him. At the time l went
to see my brother Henry he was in such poor
condition that he was unable to speak with
ease. was told to get doctor, and imme-
diately went to Auburn 4; l forget the phys
ician's name; he gave me receipt for the
medicines, which got, but owing to the in
clemency of the weather, it being night and
very dark, and being on foot was unable to
gohome that night owing to the rain and the
many creeks had to pass. l thought as
there was some of the same medicines left at
home that it would be ample time to go
home early next morning. 1 slept that night
with Beton. At o'clock A. NJ, Henne
came for the medicines and informed me that
Henry Jared worse. At break of day l
went home on foot in mud and rain was
wet through and through; Henry was some
times better and sometimes worse.
| Now came DR.. Armann, or whatever his
name is, from San Fro; he said it went to
far he tried everything with the same re-
suit as before and he left again; said he
couldn't remain any longer; he said we
could do as much as he, and from that time
he did not get any more medicines. We sent
again for the first physician, DIR. Gimpel. l
Ill, l. Now 10 hr,t
he could do nothing for him !; he gave him
several medicines; all medicines were either
brought by the physicians or procured by
their directions. 1 have never but once got
any medicines without the doctors direction.
A few days after the attention of DIR. Gin
pei my brother died in the presence of his
wife, the servant-girl and myself. l asked
my sister-i in law to call some one from the
neighborhood size did not return. In the
meantime Schnabel came. We done every
thing that was necessary, dressed him, and
and the next day he was inferred in his own
township. The estate of my deceased brother
was in such state that we could not find out
the exact condition. There were many debts
against the estate; Schnabel and the butcher
were the largest creditors. Schnabers de-
mands were $500, and the butchers $4O0
There were many others which we paid. I
have settled many other bills; all have re-
ceived their money. Schnabel and the
butcher took charge of the mill and claims,
and nothing remained for me and for my
labor. can say no more. After the set,
Element l left and returned to Mok. Hill.
At Sacramento 1 paid bills on Remand for
various things etc. I've been here ever since
without any prospects. In my youth have
always been sick; have been subject of
having fears caused by heavy dreams.
stand now in my last hours-my sick
ness has gained on me. l beg of you to have
mercy and let me not suffer too long; for
give me all, as forgive ALL hope so. My
relations and friends will forgive me. My
heart is pressed with sorrow that my mental
strength were often affected. l don't
know what is left for my relations. 1 say
to them farewell, and let them forget me-
Be merciful, and do not judge me too harsh
ly. 1 have nothing more to say. Again
farewell, and forgive me all. F. S.,
the Unfortunate.
