| My Dear Brother, |
| x |
| It has been so long
since I have written I suppose you have done looking for a letter
from me but do not dispare for you shall have one after so long a
time. You must forgive me for not writing before. I have no excuse
to offer only my negligence and I will try to be more punctual for
the future. I was very sorry to hear that you are in hidding again,
but you know that I am not one to point a finger only be carefull
for I am inclined to think as Grandfather Parker did about the wild
cat in Duncan woods. I
do wish I could come and see you all and I intend to if nothing
happens to prevent this Summer coming for I almost feel homesick
when thinking how long it is since I saw my Mother it seems almost
an age since I saw any of you. When you get this letter you must
write me and tell me all the news and what the prospects are for a
safe reunion. I hope we may have a grand revelry but I should think
it doubtful according to your letter. I am now located at a good
house about 18 miles from Lander and have taken to raising horses
which I think suits this country just fine. [Hainer] and I have
throwed our lots entirely together, so we have 38 horses between us
and we would have more but it has been a cold winter with plenty of
wind and snow. (And you must excuse the pencile but the ink froze.)
Business here is very dull and money hard but you know I am well. I
should be in perfect health if I did not have such a good appitite
and eat so much 3 times each day. I must draw my letter to a close.
Give my love to Uncle Dan and family and tell them I should be happy
to see them. Give my love to Father Mother Brothers and Sisters and
receive the same yourself – |
