Letter from William P. Weeks to Amos Augustus Phelps, 1827 Nov[ember] 29

William P. Weeks writes Amos A. Phelps about the sudden death of Major Haggins. He describes that "soon after he rose--he complained of being sick at the stomach, was immediately taken to vomit and they sent for the Doctor-but it was too late, the vital spark was extinguished." He mentions how Major Haggins' death "would speak in the voice of to the Drunkards in this place."
