	Letter from Bettie Ann Cunningham to Thomas Decatur Jones , September 08, 1885 Writing from Greensboro, North Carolina, Bettie Ann Cunningham asks her brother Thomas Decatur Jones about his expectant wife Mattie Logan. "I hope she is not uneasy and bears her trouble bravely. I believe all the ladies this year have gone a month over their time and all of them have had girls so be prepared for such a calamity as you men regard it." She also describes her brother John K. Jones' accident and how poor communication between his siblings and their mother Nancy Harriet Keen Jones delayed his medical care. In closing, Bettie advises Thomas to attend Mrs. Chapin's temperance speech when the lecturer travels to Durham.
