[Letter] 1848 Oct 18, Shelbyville, Ky. to "My Dear Nephew" [John Albert Broadus] / William [F. Broaddus]. 1848.

Broaddus wrote that he was truly gratified to hear that "you are giving your time to the work of the ministry." Complains that "your Father" who is "my eldest brother, whom I have always sincerely loved," has not written since January 1847. "Once I attempted a correspondence with you; but you dropped it suddenly. Madison and Martha also both failed to respond to my letters. Meanwhile, your excellent mother died, and not one of the family ever wrote me a line and to this day, I am totally ignorant of the particulars of her death." Says his own ministry in Kentucky has "not been much blessed." "Your uncle Andrew has rec'd a call to Virginia and will probably accept."
