Letter from A.H. Cornish Informing his brother, Rev. John Hamilton Cornish of the death of his youngest daughter, twelve-year-old Martha Calhoun Cornish (1853-1864). Cornish writes, "On Xmas Eve we laid her body down to sleep by the side of her Grandmother & little brother.... She died almost in a moment, & without pain, probably from disease of the heart. She had for a few previous days complained of feeling feeble, but the doctor had seen her but three times, & thought her much better.... She died in her Mother's arms, & now, we trust, rests in the bosom of her Saviour & God."
