<p>My dear Son</p>
<p>Your brother Warner got your<br />letter and I am pleased to hear that<br />your services are worth at least twice<br />the sum you ever got before; and that<br />perseverance and fidelity have achieved<br />for you what they never fail to do<br />for all who practice those virtues =</p>
<p>You have of course given up<br />the prospect of entering in business; on<br />your account another year; but<br />something may occur more favourable<br />in your circumstances sooner than<br />expected and the addition of more<br />experience to your stock, will prove<br />a valuable capital when it bestows<br />the confidence of people in trade -<br />besides you can now look to saving<br />from your wages = It grieves me<br />to hear you are still persecuted with<br />the intermittent but hope it may have<br />left by this; and Warner is now<br />unwell. I hear that he will not be<br />able to undertake business without a<br />very material change in his health<br />which is not likely to be the case at<br />the commencement of next year.</p>
<p>[Page 2]</p>
<p>We are in the middle of Winter ere<br />it begins; for I do not recollect<br />to have seen such a day as last Sunday<br />was; these forty years at this season;<br />and if the ice is increasing at the Polar<br />circles as navigators say, then it<br />is not likely to be diminished by<br />the operations of the approaching season.</p>
<p>The winter however brings its<br />pleasures, and none of a more interes=<br />=ting character that the hope of seeing<br />you at Christmas. Now that I am<br />in Solitude and Poverty, the company<br />of my children is doubly acceptable<br />to me and I hope you will not be<br />prevented from coming by any trifling<br />obstacle, = at that time, we must also<br />dispose of the women & children and shall<br />want your counsel on the occasion, and on<br />other matters = Next week I shall<br />send the tobacco amounting to £40 <sup>wt</sup>.. which<br />is expressly for <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Ellen</span>. Please get it sold<br />for her. Some of it is very good; all<br />the leaf tobacco is tolerable at least, =</p>
<p>I have sold 10 cords of wood to<br />your uncle John who will hand you<br />this. He has promised to get me a hat<br />as I am now wearing a miserable<br />palmetto = but do not want a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">hat</span> without</p>
<p>[Page 3]</p>
<p>it is <span style="text-decoration:underline;">exactly like</span> the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">one</span> you had<br />on while here, to fit <span style="text-decoration:underline;">your</span> head a<br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;">little loose</span> not too much and<br />3½ or 4 dollars will be enough<br />you can also get <span style="text-decoration:underline;">him</span> to buy a<br />$2 cap for your brother - fitted by<br />your head = Should there [be] any<br />thing over the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">wine</span> can you purchase<br />half a barrel flour and a few<br />lbs butter, and send them at Xmas</p>
<p>Say when the order<br />for the wine must come, I can send<br />it by M<sup>r</sup>. Hill from December<br />court if you will write me<br />by your uncle -</p>
Farewell<br />with the love of all here to you<br />I am Yours affectionately<br />George D. Baylor<br />November 30 - 1841
