            Dear wife it with pleasure that I take this time to write a few lines to let you know that I am well at this time and hope these few lines will find you the same. There has nothing transpired of any importance since I wrote to you last but I thought I would write a few lines to you for I am anxious to know how things / are a going if you haint wrote I want you should when you answer this if any body has sowed any more wheat and if you got the buckwheat taken care off, what you have don with the hogs and the cows, and if William Hight has taken care of the plows and forks. I want you should take good care of the mare and the gears.

I have just eat my breckfast and come up to finish this letter. we had a cold birth last night and I got up early and went out to where the guards was and warmed myself there is a rail fence around and some part was burnt up this morning. here we cant tel Sunday from any other day. Corbly sleep with me and he haint got up yet. I believe I have writen all the news for this time. /
