- Isaac Smith Letter to his Brother Liverpool Feb. 12th 1867 Dear Brother: I am happy to inform you that I have been well since I left home until the last 2 or 3 days, I have been quite sick. I suppose that by this time you know that Charles was drowned. It was on the 18th of January when about half passage he was washed overboards from the bowsprit by a sea. We threw over lines and some deal but he was unable to reach them. Any by the time we got the vessel around on the other tack he had sunk to rise no more. He was floating on the water about ten minutes. We had a very hard time coming across and have been here now about 12 days and are only half discharged I expect we will be here a month longer and then go to Boston with a general cargo. Tell Father and Mother that they must take good care of themselves and not work too hard this winter. I received that letter that you wrote to Charles yesterday and was very glad to hear from you. Tell Eliza Johnson that George Johnson was here and has just shipped for Boston. There are a great many of the boys from around home here now. Elijah Chase and Charley Russ are well and so are all the rest of the boys. I expect to come home in the spring if I live and have my health if I do not call up to Dan Lowreys too often for I am as wild as ever. It is a great place here in Liverpool for losing money, jackets. Tell Minnie Simmons and Jane Atkinson that they must not get on their muscle this winter. If I live and have my health to get across to the other side again Bill Hickman and old Hance Atkinson will not get me to cross the Western Ocean again in the middle of winter with half a crew and starve us to death in the bargain. I expect that Father, Mother and the rest will take it very hard about Charles, but I have made up my mind that there is no use to mourn for he is taken away from us and we cannot help it. Volley Snowdon is well. Write us soon as you get this letter and I will get it before I leave I do not expect we will leave before the 20th of March. Direct it the same as the one you wrote Charles. From your affectionate brother. Isaac Smith I have changed my mind you nead not write for it will not have time to get here before we leave. I do not want you to preach Charles funeral sermon till I come home for me and all the boys want to hear it.
Dear Friend I write just a few lines to let you know that I am alive and well and hope that you and may is the same. I live in hopes of getting back before long in not swept away as poor Charley was. I hope he is gone to see his god and live forever. Tell Mother I got the letter I hope the weding you spoke of in your letter come of all right. [1]
