Dear
Mother and brothers I
sit
down to scribble a few lines
to
let you know that we are
all
well at present hoping
these
few lines may find you
enjoying
the same blessing…
I received your letter of the 24th
of
June about a week ago it had
been
every place else before it
came
here -- I seen John about a
week
ago he told me he had got
a
letter from David stating
that
Mother had been verry
poorly
but was on the mend
again
which we was glad to hear
=
the friends is all well as far
as
i know == We have been
having
some verry wet weather
now
for a few weeks past

Corn
looks first rate the best
prospect
we ever had
wheat
crops was light
I
have eight acres of the
biggest
hungarian grass you
ever
saw it will make between
3
and 4 tons to the acre ----
we
are still making calculations
on
going to see you this fall
i
think we will be there
about
the middle of October
if
nothing happens ==I don’t
hear
any thing more about
Dan
and Mary Jane going
in
this fall I rather think
it
has fell through==
I
want you to write as soon
as
you get this and let me
know
whether there is plenty
of
fruit there this fall or
not
and all the rest of the
particulars --turn over
[page

Mr
Baughman has not
been
to see us yet but is to
be
next Saturday as there
is
to be a Political speech
at
our school house that day
===I
believe i have nothing
more
to write except it would
be
on politics and i have resolved
to
write nothing on that this time.
I
would like to have a letter
from
David if he could lay the
tribune
down long enough
to
write me one
and
Abby also she is begining
to
think long for a letter too.
Write
as soon as you get this
be
sure now and write
no
more at present
James
C Andrews To
Samuel and all the rest
