<p>Williamsburg Oct 6<sup>th</sup> 1871</p>
<p>My Dear Wife</p>
<p>Congratulate me, that after<br />having visited the great City of New-<br />-York, and actually walked by<br />myself upon its streets that no<br />harm has come near me, and<br />that I am in Williamsburg where<br />I wish you were. Before you start<br />for home write to me and get a<br />check for some more money, as you<br />will doubless need it to get things in<br />Richmond. You know you neglected<br />to tell Willie what you wanted from<br />Newyork & consequently must<br />wiat on yourself in Richmond.</p>
<p>But if you should determine to<br />come home to see your husband sooner<br />than I could hear from you & answer<br />your letter get your father to</p>
<h5>Page 3</h5>
<p>lend you as much as you want<br />and I will return him a check<br />for it as soon as you get home</p>
<p>Be sure to get money if you<br />want it wife & remember that<br />it will take at least $25 to bring you home.</p>
<p>Be good enough to say to<br />your father that I have authorised<br />Mr Bouldin of Danvill, a land<br />agent, to sell your farm on<br />Banister river, and further till<br />him, that I have met with a<br />gentleman from Danvill who<br />knows the country in the neighbor-<br />hood of your place and thinks<br />we can get ten dollars pr acre</p>
<p>I have referred Mr Bouldin<br />to your father for information<br />about your farm & hope soon<br />My Koots to sell out your<br />property.</p>

Probably it would be better<br />for your health & the childrens to stay a little longer<br />but make the time as short as possible little madam<br />I need you very much. Give my regards to your<br />father and his family and<br />write soon to</p>
