?We received your letter by Russell Crawford, which gives us great satisfaction to hear from you. Those lines leave us in common health for which I wish to thank the protector of our lives and health. We sent letters into Georgia but have received none. We are not satisfied where we live but have not concluded on anythng positive yet, and if we cannot live here, I don?t know where we shall move to. We have no news at present of our own concern. Isaiah Hancock wishes to be remembered to you. His family is in good health - they have six children, four sons and two daughters. jeremiah Hancock has moved to Cresy Valley was the last account. Carter Hooper and family are all well..
Isaiah Hancock is glad to hear that you are doing well and wishes you to remember that when a man is doing well he ought to be satisfied. We have nothing worth relating..
Remaining your most affectionate Grand-father and Grand-mother till death..
Thomas and Milly Sparks.
To Wm. and Sally Sparks, Limestone City, Alabama.
