I wish to be excused for not writing sooner as I was down toRockingham since I received your letter and Bro. Peter talked of movingto Missouri. But I have not heard yet if he is gone yet or not. I rec'da letter from Sister Sively and they were all well likewise Sister Susanand Bro. Samuel's family. Nancy Rush was married and lived about threemonths after and died. Old William Rush is yet living and is right smart.I was to see him when I was down which was about the 20th of Augustlast. I have no account from there since the people were right sickly atthat time. We made a fine crop of small grain in our neighborhood thisyear. Our summer crop is terrible good. I sold my house and lot inMcGaheysville with the expectation of moving to the Ohio and there was apiece of land to sell in this county by lot. Mauzy, Executor of JacobBares' estate. The tract contained 145 acres and I gave $120 for itthinking I could not better myself by going farther, it is a very healthypart of the world and what is better than health? It lies on a verypublic road and the land is good for any kind of grain and lies in a veryagreeable neighborhood and good for my trade.
Letters: The distance from McGaheysville to where I now live is about 150miles. Right on the west of this county was once part of Greene, it joinsBattleboro, Allegeny, and Giles counties, there is five watering mineralsprings the farthest not more than 40 miles to the west and in the west 9miles there is the sweet white sulphur, sweet sulphur, salt sulphur, andred sulphur springs. You wrote that Bro. Jacob's wife was ailing I wasvery sorry to hear of it, but I hope it may please God to restore her toher forme health again. Remember our love for them, dear Bro. and I wishyou would write to me at least once a year an to let me know how Mothers,Brothers and sister Polly and your family do. I would be glad to hearfrom you oftener but I have so many to write that it is a medlin of asmart task. Dear Bro. and Sister if it is our lots never to see eachother again in this troublesome world it is my wish that we may all liveso that it may please the Almighty God to raise us in Glory that we maybe seated on the right hand where all the saints meet to part no more.
