MeSsrS. Editors:
The item in the last weeks issue of the
News AND CITIZEN in relation to the
sickness and death of MIR. Cotton. from
the pen of your Jacksonville scribe. is
so far from the facts that | take the lib
erty of making correction. MIR. Cotton
was sick about one week. though his
symptoms were not alarming till the day
before his death, and the morning before
he died he expressed himself as feeling
better. but shortly altar was taken worse
and continued to fail till next day at l 80
p. m, when he died. His sickness.
which was acute inflammation of the
liver. not congestion of the BRAIN as
stated by your correspondent. was severe,
the liver being much enlarg, and pain
full. The neighbors were all aware of
his illness and during his confinement to
the house he was visited by them. His
father. who had removed to Canada was
written to in regard TO his sickness. and
Il part of the letter was written by the
young man himself. Mr.. Cotton. father
ofthe young man, was twice telegraphed
to. but owing to the storm and bad roads
did not reach here till after Herbert's
death. And TO the many kind fIiends
who rendered assistance to myself aud
daughter ut that time | wish to tender
my sincere thanks, and to the bereaved
father and family who are left to mourn
the death of dutitul son and brother |
tender my heartfelt sympathy.
Yours truly.
