Nancy Spear (Speer) [Nancy A Speer, 1827-1912, daughter of William Speer, 1778-1833, and Rebecca Boggs, 1784-1863] writes to share news about her family and mutual friends in Muskingum County. She recalls with pleasure the time Finley spent at her home. She reports that mutual friend "Aunt Taylor" is still not able to see well. Sarah (Nancy's sister?) has been absent all summer, having accompanied Aunt & Uncle Boggs to Indiana. "Cousin David" is working busily at their farm. "Aunt and Uncle Young" are in better health. "Brother Crum" is one of the sweetest preachers she has ever heard. Mrs. Loyd Dillon's daughter Ellen has just passed away. Mr. Culbertson, her old pastor and "second father" is near death. [James Culbertson, 1785-1847, pastor Associate Reformed congregation of Zanesville and Putnam. Nancy's parents were members of this church].
