I receved your
letter of Aug 17, which I received
with much pleasure, but I was sorry
to have you sick but trust that
you are all right again. I got over
my cold and am in good health at
present, I kept myself to close a
part of the time without Exercise which
did not agree with me vary well. On
the other hand I find Fatigue is handard
Exercise soon tires me. I spent a week
in the mountains lately. I spent 4 days
at the grist ^Mill^ of Brother Thompson in pine
Valley. we were there during the Great Storm
that washed away the Bridges, [Dams] & Roads
of this country during the 2 day storm
I help Br Thompson Dress a pair of Mill Stones & put them down in good
order, the first work of the kind I hadave
done for 55 years I spent one day up
