I stay with Esther yet & shal this week & may be next. I cant come out there under two weeks or more so dont look for me. When I doe come I dont think I can stay more than one night, if you think that wont doe write & let me no before I come I have not herd from W^m yet & I guess not from daniel. John Inman is in or near Richmond he rote a few lines home to his father / he said he was near Richmond but we think he is in richmond the folks are all well here on the creek as they was when you was here Willsons wife is about the same. I was there sunday & she looked very bad. the folks on the hill are all well I think Joseph Inman has got most well.
