writing you on account of two of my neighbors
telling me that thay was going into that County
and should start sometime in December which
is past and (thay) not yet [?] if thay should
start soon. I shall agree with them to call
and see you, but I think it is uncertain whether
thay will go on till Spring. It would be verry
gratifying to me to make you a visit and see
that Country, and I am verry sorry that I did
not as I calculated before I made a purchas
but the plase I bought was handsomely situated
for my business and was under at Mortgage four
[?] and the right of redemption out in 20 days
from the first conversation I had about the place
which rendered it necessary for me to buy then or
not at all. I have (ben) building here considerable.
Since I have been here, which with the loss, I have
[?] with has involved me. some in [?] and
renders it very difficult for me to leave my
business. I have lost in a [?] years about $700.00Location
