I thought I would wright a few lines to all of you. when I wright this way I expect you all to answer it. there is Some thare that never rote to me yet but I have rote to them but they have a better chance to wright than I doo. I donte have a chare to Set in nor a Stand to wright on but when I git home I want Sumthing to tell. I donte want to wright the bull.
I have Sente forty dollars by express to H. C. Gore for Jurusha and if you will git it for her it will oblige me. if She is going to town you can give her a order to git it the money will bee left at Leporte Masons and Co.
