Kerr writes that the painful duty of announcing John Drew's Death has devolved onto him. Drew Died August 25 at 6 o'clock pm. He was attended by Dr. Brown and everything was done that was possible. Kerr suspected that the opiates Drew was taking or administered had proved fatal to him. He died at Daniel Ross's house and was buried on August 26 at his old place on the Bayou along side his children. Kerr would be sending Johnny home with Mr. Mitchell. Folder 336
