I found Mr Cochran so greatly reduced / that there is very little hopes of his / surviving many days. If I had been well / enough I would have remained with him / your Sisters Margret & Cornelia have been / there to day, he is somewhat better, but / no prospect of having many days_ /
You will therefore desire [h?]is son [health?]
