In some of your letters you have made
mention of some man ^who maintained that if a
person reached the age of seventy five
years there was a probability that
he would live to be 90 years old.
I think he is entirely mistaken.
I have examined the deaths of ministers
as recorded in the Minutes of the General
Assembly for the last three years and
the following is the result. In the year
ending in 1881, 35 ministers died who
were over 75 years old. Of these, 13 were
between 75 and 80,- 11 between 8- and 85 -
9 between 85 and 90- 2 over 90.
Ministers of 1882 - Ministers over 75, thirty one
between 75 and 80. 9- between 80 and 85. 19-
between 85 and 90. 3- [--between--] over 90.
1883, 30 were over 75. Of these 17 were
between 75 and 80.-- 10 between 8- and 85 [--10--]
none between 85 and 90. and 3 over 90.
Take the number for the three years,
96 over 75 years old. 39 between 75 and 80
39 between 80 and 85-- 12 between 85 and 90- 6 over 90

while she receives with open arms
criminals, paupers, Roman Catholics,
and all other classes of me
from every other country.
You are perhaps aware that we
are having at present a civil war
in Ohio. It is a contest which is
to be decided not by force of
arms, but by the ballet. The contest
is between the friends and the enemies
of temperance, and the question is
to be decided next tuesday whether
the abominable traffic in intoxi-
cating liquor is to be prohibited
or [?legalizece?] and sanctioned by the
state constitution. [--It--] Intense interest
is felt in the decision of this question
not merely in ^our own state but in
other states.
The people of Seville are digging an
artisan well, have gone down about
150 feet and have not found water or
oil yet. They are still at work
在你写的一些信中
提到有人坚持认为，如果
人到了七十五岁
年有一个概率
他将活到 90 岁。
我认为他完全错了。
我检查了部长们的死亡
记录在将军的会议记录中
过去三年的大会和
以下是结果。在这一年
到 1881 年为止，有 35 位部长去世
已超过 75 岁。其中，有 13 个
75 到 80 之间，- 11 8 到 85 之间 -
9 在 85 和 90 之间 - 2 超过 90。

75 到 80 之间。-- 10 8 到 85 之间
85 到 90 之间没有。和 3 超过 90。
拿三年的数字，
