Thomas D. Bennehan (Stagville) to Paul C. Cameron 12 Jun 1836: "I have decided to embrace your very kind proposal to send my man Ephraim up to your House--The day you left me he spit up a considerable quantity of blood, which has made me very uneasy: I therefore thought no time should be lost if any assistance can be afforded him, as both Dr. Strudwick & Webb are in attendance on Old Ben, will you have him examined & submitted to their care...I am sorry ot make your House a Hospital...Ephraim can attend on Ben."
Paul C. Cameron (Hillsborough) to Thomas D. Bennehan 28 Jun 1836: "Dr. Web he says that he now almost despairs of Ephraims recovery: it is his opinion that an absess has formed this morning he complains more than he has done--tis very unfortunate weather for hte poor fellow."
Thomas D. Bennehan (Stagville) to Mary Ann Cameron (Raleigh) 30 Jun 1836 by Davie: "the health of my man Ephraim I think worse than when he left home--...I believe there is no indisposition among your people, at least I have heard of none, with the exception of Solomon, who is at his Wife's house, & is only complaining of a pain in his back. I have several very sick negroe's, poor Nelly's suffering's were drawn to a close on Monday."
Thomas D. Bennehan (Stagville) to Paul C. Cameron 8 Jul 1836 by Virgil: "I have directed Virgil to go up to your House this evening with my Sulkey to bring Epraim down in the morning, if it is thought advisable for him [torn] home, but should you think it best for him to remain I should not wish him to come--If Dr. Strudwick should think he would be as well off at home I should like to gratify him with a visit to his family which I have no doubt would gratify him much, should he come I have directed Virgil to call on Dr. Strudwick for medicine & directions how to be administrated to him while he is at home."
Mildred Cameron to Duncan Cameron (Raleigh) 26 Sep 1840 by Ephraim: "Ephraim reached here to day about 12 past nine reporting all well bringing your letter... [your] man Elisha is aagain [sic] quite unwell & says he thinks he is going to have a similar attack to the one this summer Dr. Strudwick has prescribed for him..."
Paul C. Cameron to Duncan Cameron (Ral) 11 Apr 1843: "Uncle may not write, he was well on yesterday: he dined here on Sunday--sent me word on yesterday that his man Ephraim could not hold out but a few days or hours longer."
