D John

I send you by Mr. Pickett (the mail
carrier) 2 shirts and a waistcoat which are all
your clothes that are now ready for you. I will
endeavour to have some of your summer Pantaloons
by the next mail; and send them = also some socks.

The mill and Land on the other side of
the state road have been sold to pay Mr. Pollard
of Richmond= So you see, that my resources are
lessened and y[torn, illegible] course. This will warn
you again of the just necessity there is of exerting
yourself in an honorable way, to please your employer
and thereby gain a character for industry and honesty
which will lay a lasting foundation for your
future good fame and fortune -

The family are all well and desire their love
to you
Your affectionate Father
G D Baylor

April 30 - 1832 -
