 Description: I seat myself once more to write you to in- form you that I am still with my family in the land among the living, for which I am more than thankful to God. I can truly say that the Lord has been good to us since we have been in this land in sparing our lives. My daughter instead of the little girl I brought with me is now taller than her mother. She has grown much indeed and with her mother is enjoying good health. It has been now about 4 years since I have heard from you and I must say I am over axious to hear from you once more— more so since I heard the war is about over. It must indeed have been dreadful to be in a land as America has been for the last four years— covered with all the horrors of war. But I hope it will not be long ere peace shall again be de clared and when the sound of the battle shall no more be heard. In your last letter you requested me when I write to inform you how I was am getting along. At present I am doing pretty well. I am paying the mass of my attention to the growing of cane of which I have about 8 acres. I made this year 8000 pounds of sugar which was said to be the best made around here. It is true that it is a new country, and we have many hardships to un- dergo, but by God's blessings and an effort on one's side he can get along. Here I have realized the meaning of the words: Sitting under one's own vine and fig tree and none daring to molest or make afraid. The only thing that grieves me, is that I cannot enjoy it with my children. were they with me I should be perfectly satisfied. To be so far separated from them is indeed an afflic- tion hard to bear.

Col. Society for this last emigra tion that came from Lynchburg here Dec. 14th 1865, which keeps me very busy I therefore am oblige to give up the idea of coming as I proposed this march, but the pastor of our Church Albert Woodson is coming over in march and I expect him to call and See you and all the friends in that district for me. please answer this as Soon as you can to this as I may know all about you and if you are alive and all respecting you as I am longing to hear a word from an old friend as you. Also inform me something about my Children I could hear nothing from them neither during the war though I has often written them, but I chance to hear mention of them in a letter to George Walker from Mrs Reeves that two was dead and one she never mention her name at all Julia, which made me very unhappy. In 1861 when Dr. Hall was over here last I gave him $20 — in gold and a receipt for the Same was inclosed to you in a letter. requesting you to draw it from him and give it to my children but the war broke out before he could arrive to America and I have heard nothing about it Since.
