I write to say that your wagon and
three yoke of oxen and goods all came safe. I think Bro Millett has taken great pains to do well and get the cattle
through. He and his wife have walked all the way, nearly.
One of the oxen was sickly: They were delivered to Brothers Richards and Cain, and I suppose they have been put upon
the range. The wagon is in my yard, sound and whole. Bro.
Millet had to obtain some things in order to get along, to the
amount of $6 or $8; the flour that was given him was adulterated
with some mineral. He had to leave in storage at Florence,
the following articles, as he had too much load:
I put one of the Boxes in my house, and put into it every
thing you directed which had come. I delivered to Mrs Bernhisel all the articles as directed, and she called and got
a bill of goods at the retail price, was $146.26.
I have a bill of the articles.
