Friday 11 PM

            Dec 15, 82.

 

We expect to be in Salinas Creek in the morning by daylight, & see a coast steamer, if so, she will take our mail, so I close this & my other / letters tonight for fear I might be late a.m.

 

            Will say good night & good bye for all,

 

Dont run in front of cars, wagons, &c or hang on behind you will get killed, or lose a leg.

Papa.
