Dear
Jennie
You
have not yet favored me with a sight of your chirography since I
returned. but I hope this may pass yours on the way. Mary has written
once and I send her an answer with this hoping they may find you all
well and happy. John also wrote me. Pacheco is growing fast enough. in
point of business it is now quite a place. our business seems to go on
as usual. we had a Law suit pending in regard to a piece of land while
I was home. The Law particularly in this country is very uncertain and
though we had to my mind a very plain case I was very glad our
persecutors withdrew their suit and paid up all the Cash even to our
Lawyer fees to drop it. The Summer untill within two weeks has been
very backward, but it rather an advantage to our Crops than otherwise
as they mature generally too rapidly. Fruits are plenty and nice.
Straw Berries immense wish I could astonish your Eyes and appetite with
some of them. Do you think Doct D- has yet satisfied himself that I am
away Mary says he has been up to see and staid and looked about him a
day or two. he has not yet fulfilled his promise to write to me. hope
he may do it soon. give him my regards and jog his memory. shall expect
to hear soon from you in regard to approaching events I am just getting
through with being bored with the question did you got married
&c and hope people will sleep as soundly as if I had and I will
try and do the same and when I must face the music do it with as good a
grace as possible. Jane if you need any money let me know immediately
and you shall have it. My best Love to all, not forgetting Aunt Delia
and Lida if they are not gone.
“Good night again Good night
”
Yours
Truly
Chitt
