Stephenson, Elizabeth, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri, 1832 December 31
Scope and Contents
By the request of R. Daugherty's parents and her own wishes she addresses Timon. They wish Timon to come if possible. Daugherty's father-in-law and his wife are doing all they can to ruin him in property and in mind. Timon has it in his power to arouse Daugherty and make him sensible of his duty to himself and his business. He seems to care nothing about the world except his children whom he says he will have, let it be on what terms he can. If Timon cannot come shortly, his advice would be of infinite service to Daugherty and soothe his diseased mind. He lives a mile in the swamp all alone and will not have company. Twice he has been found in a fit. Stephenson would be glad if Timon or any of the Fathers would come to preach while she is here. Eloisa wishes to be remembered in Timon's prayers Elizabeth's health is better than when last she saw Timon. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. folio
