Dear Uncle,
I received your letter and was very glad to hear that you and
family were all well as I am happy to inform you that I am enjoying the best of
health at present.
I am glad to hear that you have your farm ready for spring
work. I have written a letter home about
two weeks ago but I have not received one in a long while. And as to Uncle James whereabouts, I know
nothing about him though I have enquired about him in every letter I have
written home, but cannot learn anything about him, so I guess they don’t know
anything about him at home. But he is
married for he was married as I understood to an Irish woman before I left home,
and took his children with him to Liverpool.
Then I heard he left Liverpool and came to America, and that is the last
I knew of him, but I hope I shall hear something of him before long.
I think that Uncle Edwin will do pretty well this season in
the mill business. One of the partners
has withdrawn since the first of January so they have the concern between two now. That big saw is doing splendid work.
I hope you will come here to see us in the fall. I’ve got fifteen dollars ($15) saved to send home,
which I intend to send as soon as I can get it from Uncle Edwin.
I have nothing particular to say about myself so I must
conclude for the present, with kind regards to you all.
From your affectionate,
Richard
PS – Write soon and also let my cousin write and tell me all
about your country.
