Dear
Brother
Yours of Jany 30th
came
to hand 3 days since and Sunday having came around and leasure being
granted me will now answer fully. The letter was just the letter
I’ve wanted to get from you ever since I got home telling me
you had enough of Soldiering and had become fairly settled down in life
marked out your track settled fairly in the harness and decided to pull
through understandingly The company I now have will not permit me to
write more at present will finish anon — over

and
that you can consistently stay with Father and Mother and make a little
money beside. Chitt is still in Low’ Cal look for him home in
a few days when will answer you as to our arrangements I wrote you
about the buying of farm what does Uncle E say. he probably
will not sell still see about it or renting either of course you must
manage for yourself and dont go on others judgment too much depend on
yourself and if you do not get right the first time you will be sure to
remember where you missed As to my paying for Coffee &Sugar at
Brooks I did not do it and did not say I would so Father misunderstood
me. You speak of your Colt I never knew you had one. where did you get
it and what stock is it

The
sheep business I think good and the mill if you can get an interest by
work and do not have to take too much risk it will do no harm but
Sorghum, Sugar or Cane, Lasses or that class of business I know nothing
about. As to new varieties, the only one I know of is the Floods of
1862, exceeding anything Cala ever heard of that variety you dont want
for all the “Specs” you find in that are out of
Pocket I saw it “in that light,” and withdrew my
patronage after many days buffeting Enclosed please find a letter for
Mother from Clara Germain she tells her all the news from Ann and
Parker and sends with me much love to all. Write often and
oblige.
Yours Truly
