Letter from Jedediah Fitch to Sam DeWolf.
"Vienna August 30 1839
my dear siz How vain and transitory are
the things of this world, in the midst
of life, we are in Death, O how shall I perform
the painfull task, your sister, yes your poor sister
Louisa is no more, she gave birth this morning
about 9 oclock to a fine boy, and did not
survive the scene but about 3 hours
she was attended by Doct. Blachley, and
had not any alarming simptoms untill
after the birth of her child, when
Doct Blatchley became alarmed from an
occurrence which is not unusual at such
times, he executed all his powers to save her
she died before he left the House.
If her friends have no objections she will be
buried here at the grave yard near Doct.
Johnson, on Sunday about 11oclock ...
if her friends should prefer to have her
buried at Vernon I should not object
Yours Jedediah Fitch
