My Darling Sister

Amina our dear old Mother is gone. She was taken with a chill the night of the 24 & passed away last night at 11:30 of pneumonia, she suffered quite a bit. Will, John & I was here. I got here at 11:30 a.m. She knew me but -----she was going when I see her.
Dear old papa I can't look at him with out crying. We will lay her away tomorrow-----in the old Sandridge grave yard. We would have phoned you but didn't think you would be able to come & none of us was able to help you. My its awful to be poor.
Write papa at Will's.
Aunt Julia & Uncle Tom are both in bed & not very bad.
