Dear Brother
Yours of the 12th inst.
has come to hand, contents thereof duly
considered and in answer I will say

We have a good and comfortable home
and bread enough for about 6 months;
some few head of stock & a few acres of land.

have bought me some little land and
made considerable improvments, which

swolowed up all I earned and left me
