SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 1 1850

Mr Tod & Brians Express arived Yesterday but no letters.

On Monday the Stars and Stripes were floating in the Breeze half Mast having just recived the News of Gen or President Taylor ‘s Death. This news was very Suden and unexpected, how true the poet, The tall the Wise the reverned head, Shall lie as low as ours.

Received a note on friday from Friend Atwood.
