I suppose you are now getting rich middling fast selling stage[s]. I hope you will do well, but not so well as to get above measure. Nothing so dangerous for young men as to get rich too fast.
We are all getting in Hay in this Region. We have had a fine time since you left. Good Rains & plenty. Corn grows finely. Things put on a good appearance indeed.
Some buyers for Cattle along now & then. I sold my lot Steers last week for $25 head. Matters behind or at least not better than mine were last year. So I shall not trouble the market this year.
In fact there is no Cattle about here for Sale. I should like to hear from you.
We paid the Colonel $600 since you left.
I don't expect to want my Cash in NY till first Sept. Hurbard goes to Greece before I go to NY.
I don't see as I can get there till 1 Sept.
Yours &c.
J Austin
