Fannie L. Garland, Evergreen, to Frances K. Burwell Catlett., 1858 August 26
Scope and Contents
Running away from yellow fever. Going to Mr. Burr Garland’s plantation that is 6 miles from Jackson. Packing for 3 or 4 months because it will be that long until they are able to come back. Grandma was here all summer and was taken with one of her fits in which everyone thought she would die, but she is doing better now and heading for Dingle. Aunt Pris and Uncle Armistead spent the day here yesterday. Uncle A drove with a high fever and has been quite sick since he went to the swamp. Frank was very ill in last letter from Texas. Charlie Burwell is in college at Princeton. Hugh is in St. Louis with Tim to practice Law. Mammy Aggie has been dead a year last March. Write to Vicksburg because there are several men there who have had yellow fever and will bring the mail to Fannie.
