                                            Shelburne, Vt. Oct. 23th 1841
Dear Brother,
     I would take my pen in hand to address a few lines to you from this place 
to let you know that I am still through the Blessing of God in verry good 
health or as good health as can be expected for as old a person as I am.  I 
want to hear from you verry much.  I have not heard from you since last spring 
I heard from you by Brother Levi who was here last spring in company with 
Brother Charles.  They left here last June and I have not heard from them since.
I wish if you have heard from them that you would write to me and let me know 
it so I can know wether they are dead or alive for they have not wrote to me 
since they left here.  I live to Philo Perkins where I have lived since the 
death of Mr. Russell my last husband.  My family (children) are all well and 
relatives are all well.  I wish you would come and see me and all relations if 
you think you can leave home for I am so old that it is not probable that i 
shall ever come to see you.  I hope that you will come: and write as soon as 
you get this letter so as to let me know whether you are coming or not.
                   So no more at present
                   This from your sister (signed Hannah Russell
Simeon M. Webster
Exeter, Connecticut

Additional Comments:
Hannah Webster, born in 1767, was two years older than her brother Simeon.  
With her first husband, Daniel Payne, whom she married in 1788, she removed to 
Thetford, Vermont.  Her husband died in 1824, and Hannah married Isaac Newton 
Russell..  Russell died in Charlotte, Vermont, in 1838, and Hannah moved to 
Shelburne to live with her oldest daughter, Asena, the wife of Philo Perkins.
