Dear bro, mywife wished me to
write & ask yo what shold be
done with infints that is
born dead, & before they are
fully developed, it is the
custom to dig a hole where it
is most convenient & berry them
as you wold a beast, now
through some cause unknown to
us my wife miscarried a week ago
Sh was a bout 4 month advansed in
pregnancy, & our feelings revolt
against the usual way of disposeing
of such infints is why we ask the
question, we wold further ask
if we will ever have any claim
on, or have any thing to do with
our infint thus lost, in eternity
