Letter from Orlando Blair to his sister Emma Blair.
The letter was written and mailed in Glencoe, MN and sent to Putnam, NY in the Spring of 1872.
Spelling, punctuation, and captializations are preserved.
Dear Sister Emma,
Your kind letter was received by us a short time since but Lura was not destined ever to answer it.
she was confined on the 17th and gave birth to a boy babe
on the 24th seven days after died.
The same vitality has prevailed through this section of the country
more than one half of child bed confinements have proven fatal
she seemed doing well until the third day when she took or had a slight chill and from that time grew worse, yet we all had hopes of her recovery until almost her last day
it is something that the Phiscians do not understand the vitality that prevails among the child bed confinements.
Lura had one of the best nurses in the country attending her who had nothing to do but to attend to her
we had a hired girl besides the nurse and also Mary Shear from Michigan was visiting us which was a great source of comfort to me for she has always been like a sister to me when I was in Michigan
her Phiscian visited her almost hourly after she was taken with the chill on the 3 day so she had i am satisfied all the care that a mortal could have had.
but my dear Sister she was to good for this sin sick world and God in his infinit wisdom called her home to be with him on high
she had no fear of death and hoped that all her friends which are many would so live that when God should call them hence they would meet her in heaven.
O! Emma, of all the many greivances that I have had this has been by far the hardest and the heaviest that I ever can have the death of the wife of my youth
But God in his infinite mercies has left me a momento of the lost one that I loved so well
Oh! Emma you have never realized how precious she was to me, nor never can until you have been affected as I have been; but may God spare you from this trial
Lura named the baby Frank Lewis
Lewis in honor of her brother that died
I shall stay here until Fall anyway and get some one to take care of the babe
after that I do not know what I shall do
Mary has not concluded yet weather she will stay here and teach school this summer or not but I hope she will for I would like to have one relative near me
Maggie Lee that married Mr. Bennett about 6 months before I was married died yesterday
she was a niece of Agness Wiley Blair
Mrs. Chubb, Agnes sister is very sick
There has been a lot of sickness here this spring
And now dear sister I will close this sad epistle for I have many more to write yet.
Write me often will you not
Love to all enquiring friends
Your affectionate Brother
Orlando Blair
Don't forget me to Robert
