Dear Nephew
    I have written a title but do not know that it is absolutely correct and will send it as soon as I can see a J.P. and sign it
    and I would like to know who is bothering you about this strip of land.  Who owns the land next to it up toward
    Sherod's: Have you been paying taxes on it all this time since I give it to you?  if so that would give you a title to it.  If
    the description I give don't suit send it back corrected and I will fix it.  When I sold my place to Will Quin I told him and
    Sherod that I had given you this land. the weather is cold and I am sick and will quit writing now.  hope to hear from you
    soon.  Aff your Uncle Rowland.  Love to all.

 
    Transcription of postcard from Rowland T. Hart, M.D. to Marion Meredith Hart dated Pickens, MS February 29, 1908

    Dear Nephew, I am in a critical condition and do not know how my sickness will end.  If you can come up to see me
    you had better do it right away as I would like to see you anyway.  Don't be alarmed as I have been sick about a month
    with indigestion.  cannot eat but little and cannot sleep laying down.  My feet & legs are swollen badly.  I would write
    a letter but do not feel able to do it. If you come bring Jim & Will some plants and if you don't come send them a lot.  I
    am noding as I write this.  Love to all.  You will be wired if necessary on my account.

    Affect. your Uncle Rowland T. Hart, M.D.
