Mr. Taylor is an old school Democrat in politics but liberal and kind to those who may choose to differ from him. Beside holding several district offices he represented in part the sixth delegate distrcit of thisstate composed of the counties of Clay and Roane in the legislature of West Virginia, session of 1891. He has an extraordinary taste for literature and more especially poetry. His favorite authoris Robert Burnes. Nothing does him more good than to be with "bosom companions" who enjoy the poems, songs and espistles of the great Scotttish bard. His memory is so good even at his advanced age he can quote the whole of "Tam O'Shanter and the Cotter's Saturday Night." In person he is tall, lean and in earlier days straight but now somewhat stooped by age and infirmity, carries full flowing auburn beard has pale blue eyes and awuiline nose with well chizeled features and a fully developed head.

Your father is very ill--not expected to live long Respectfully yours etc A. C. Ferguson [Belfast Mills is in Russell County near the Smyth and Washington Counties line. . .bb]
