LETTER:
From Huldah to her "bro and sister" [unnamed]. This letter tells of the death of James B. Diemer. It was sent to Bernadine Murrow Terril in May of 1974 by Hazel Dell Franklin Babbitt, Avoca, IA, wife of Oliver Glenn Babbitt who was the son of Hugh and Azubia Babbitt. Since it was in the possession of Hugh's son, it is probable that Huldah was writing to them. It is likely that Hugh and Azubia's "trouble" to which Huldah refers was the death of one of their children, possibly Bertha. [See under Hugh Babbitt.]
[[N.B.: Have two tintypes of Huldah as a young woman, one neg. made; also several photos as an older woman, probably taken in the early 1900's; neg. made of portrait photo.]]

LETTER:[Note:This letter was written by Huldah to her "Dear bro and Sister" shortly after the death of James Beaver Diemer. It is not certain who this brother and sister were; it may have been one of Hulda's siblings who had perhaps had a child die. The transcription is exactly as she wrote it, mistakes included. It is not known who "bet" was. She may have been a relative. A line by line transcription is in the Diemer Notebook.] "Dear bro and Sister/ I undoubtedly know/ how to Simpathise/ with you in your/ trouble and then/ Some Poor Jim was/ taken from me/ the fourth of this mo/ he went easy we were/ all a lone/ I thought/ bet would be Some/ comfort but She faild/ me Jim wanted to/ See her So bad but/ now I have to make/ the best of it he suffer/ ed So much it would/ be wicked to want him/ back but I cant help/ [2nd page] it for I certainly do/ I am lef in bad circu-/ [part of word left out] but I dont mind that/ like giving him up/ that is killing me/ by th inch he never/ ment to harm me/ eny I know he was all/ goodness and kindness/ to me Oh!
