6 ceremonies but only insisted upon having order no whiskey at the feasts. I had sent to Sitka for a brass illegible for
old Shushak? who said he would die happy if he could see it belonging to him. The gun came but was carried past to Portland.
The old man was terribly stricken by this blow but rallied I believe for about two weeks hung on to life tenaciously just
to see that cannon before he should die at last when Nature lost her patience the old heathen? just before he died uttered
his last I suppose his first prayer as follows: O Chief Above, if there be such a being up yonder, have pity upon me let me
live to see my big brass illegible . The illegible of this illegible 7 appears from the fact? that Shuatak had been for
a year a regular attendant upon chuch had been privately admonished besides. I will not give you illegible this time for the
boat is in sight Roby? is a marvel of good temper good health. Susie is getting whiter every day. Mrs Y.? is well joins in
best wishes. Yours S. Hall Young.?
