I inclose 10 dollars in this to you i will send more if i do not see a fare prospect to come with it before long

                        children

remember thy creator in the days of thy youth

 

Scenes of pleasure happy days

hopes of comfort lingered near

but alass there sunny ways

O so soon to disappear

 

But god doeth all things well, chear up there is better days coming coming singing as they come, could i but hear your sweet voice how much hapiness how much joy peace and consolation /

 

i must close, i will have to fix for a aproching storm of rain Send me word whether i had better get a team and fetch home or get one after i get there

write all the news

write soon
