Dear Father & Mother I take the preasant opportunity to rite a few lines to you hoping they will finde you all well as I am thankful to say that I am well you said I must excuse you for not riting sooner I will do so this time hoping you will do better / the next time. I dont want you to bother about my affars out north for it will do no good for I cant se but what we have done our duty so if they are mean a nuf to take what little I have let them have it their wey for a while but the time will come when they will have to give an account of their procedings. I am willing to let them rest untill / fall Purhaps some thine ma turn up by that time so that I can come home

 

I would be willing to sacrifice evry sent I am worth if it would crush this rebellion for what would our property be worth if this govermant is let go down I say let us fite them untill they are whiped and in the next place I am willing to fite them with Negros or any thing els / and there is but very few men hear but what is in for fiting them with Negros as they they have commenst the game first. but purhaps I had better stop for you ma think this letter has rather a black appearance but it is my sentiments at least but I will close hoping to remain your loving Sun in law while life shal last Wm Forder
