Dear Pa
I recd yours of Sept 5th and Mr. Fergusons of the 1st but a few day back. I am in hopes your uneasiness about Keyes is all removed by this time.
Business is on the improve here. Coarse negro clothing & shoes are just begining to go off tolerably lively. Town still on the improve. Crops very indiferent, except the corn which is much better than ususal.
For the last two months we have had no rain untill the other day, and then if came in abundence.
One steam Boat has gon down being the first for the season. They run here only about half of the year, and that half is in the winter. Which makes it very dificut to keep up an assortment of goods. There is not two stores in the place if put togather that would make a good general assortment.
The crediting business I believe is carried on to a greater extent than in Mo. and from all accounts the customers are much less prompt. The percent on cost of goods. is pretty much the same there as in Franklin Mo. The expence of getting goods here I think also is about the same )though S Boats charge by the barrell here, at from one to three dollars up from Mobile) But when you begin to count house or Genl expences then you find the differences. I believe a man can live on one fourth of the some in Franklin that he can in Gainesville.
It is compliance with Bransons risquest that trouble you with this.
He wishes to communicate what he would not let remain a secret for all the world. He commenced braging ) his natural failing ) by sending me a note before I was out of bed telling me he was a Father of a son that weighed 10 lb when only two hours old. Branson seemes today to be about two inches taller than he was yesterday and his heath is desidedly better although on the improve before. This late circumstance seems to have given him a mighty lift surely an other would cure him entirely.
I have promised to leave some room for Branson.
My love to Ma & the balance of the family
Your Son Erasmus

## From Lyle

Ras says I am braging, but I think myself quite moderate considering the size and fine looks of my boy besides I was married on the 10th of Jany last – Elizabeth & child are both doing finely.—
My own health is better but I find I am not well fitted to bear sickness – 13 years ago mother had a hard time with me – Elizabeth fared no better and from chills & fevers had it much longer. it is now near 2 month since I have been of much use in the store.
We have not heard from Willis for 3 or 4 weeks at which time he left here for Courtland with Rob McMahon.
Elizabeth sends her best love to every one of you and is very anxious to show you her shote
Remember me to mother and all the rest – write soon as I feel uneasy about Keyes – I will write as soon as I find Leisure.
Your affct Son L.B.F.

Dear Pa
Mr Thompson has been kind enough to write to you by the two last mails which in some degree relieved me from this arduous task. I was absent when the last mail left or I should have written by it.
I believe I have generally fulfiled one of Mas last requests. that was to always let the worst be known as respects our health. But never did I suppose that I should have to communicate that sad truth. had I believed it I should certainly have had you better prepaired & I should have been better prepaired myself but no one even imagined it the Doct said there was n o danger. I couldnot see why a wise Creator would turminate a life so usefull to the interest of every thing that was morrally wright and one that was beloved by all who were fortunate enough to be intimate with him. He was a perfect model of what I and of what every man should wish to be. You will find in the Reporter some little sketch of his character of which evry word is truth.
We are very much indebted to Col Scott, Mrs Scott, Robt G & Chas McMahon, Mr Laybourn who Preached his funeral & a majority of the Citizens of the place.
The mail is closing and as we have only two mails a week I must have this in.
I recd yours of the 5 ult – the money to pay Brackensedge’s note was left with Col McMahon in Harrisonburg Mr B refused to take the money because it was Alabama, trouble your self no more about it for we will have the matter arranged to please his particular appetite.

# Equitation/Chapter 8

PART II
THE REASONED EQUITATION
THE TRAINING OF THE SADDLE HORSE BY THE AID OF PRINCIPLES BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE OF MASTERS OF THE ART OF RIDING
CHAPTER VIII
THE REASONED EQUITATION
We owe the reasoned equitation largely to Baucher. Before his day, even in ancient times, men had, indeed, an idea of the need of the state of equilibrium on the part of the horse; and they had tried, unsuccessfully, to obtain this by various methods, often complicated, and involving series of movements and also mechanical devices. Baucher not only created a system for obtaining the state of equilibrium; in addition, in his L'Equitation Raisonnée, he set forth the principles on which the whole reasoned equitation is based.
These are in brief:
The state of equilibrium is not the result of any instincts of the horse; but, on the contrary, is imposed upon the horse by the rider, in the form of an increased muscular activity which the rider stimulates.
The horse, compelled to the state of equilibrium by the man, is itself in a state of complete submission, in which it cannot use its brute strength to resist its rider, but can nevertheless execute any natural movement with the least possible waste of energy.
The weight of the man, also in equilibrium upon ​the horse's back, is borne with the least possible effort, and with an ease for which the animal is manifestly grateful to its master.
Now it is absolutely true that only as the result of training are the enormous powers of the horse brought under the man's intelligence, without violence and without physical or moral pain. The one is wise, the other is strong. The two form a friendly unit in which the brute is submissive and happy. But since the reasoned equitation follows a series of progressive exercises, in which the more advanced rest on those which precede, it is essential that the same rider use always the same horse, during the time necessary to complete its training.
A sound and well-conformed animal, energetic but good-tempered, will be the easiest to train. A full bridle should be employed, with a bit of medium power, a Baucher snaffle, curb chain, and lip strap. The work on foot requires a three-foot whip. Later in the training, when the horse is mounted, spurs will be needed. A well-kept second-hand English saddle is better than a new one.
Since the reasoned equitation has for its purpose to teach the rider both how to train his horse, and also how to ride a horse already trained in the system, it is useful for professional riding-masters and trainers, and for all civilians. But it is only after several years of the usual equitation that either the theory or the practice of the reasoned equitation becomes of any particular benefit. ​Baucher wrote out his method primarily for cavalry officers and other professionals, and his principles are very complicated for an amateur to follow. I have, however, taught the reasoned equitation to a great number of amateur riders, both men and women. I have, in addition, simplified Baucher's theory and clarified his methods so that now the entire system is practical for amateur and professional alike.

Dear Pa
I arrived here yesterday in good health & found Will well, except a common headache. Their business appears to be tolerably good.
After being detained three days at Paducah, I proceeded up the Tennessee river to Watterloo, where I was detained one day, waiting for a boat to take us over Colbert -- Sholes. When the boat came I quite unexpectedly found that Brance was one of the passengers. It had been seven years since we saw each other. Therefore you will not be surprised when I tell you that I scearsely knew him & He had forgotten me entirely. I steped up to him & said how are you Brance. He looked at me but at first sight could not makout who I was. Just at that time I began to feel very flat. I thought perhaps I was claiming to be brother of a man that I had never seen before. I asked him if his name was not Brance & by my blind Eye he found me out & it was only his large grey eyes that caused me to step up to him. I think he looks very much as he did when he was in Staunton except that he is not quite so heavy. In refference to his business I can say but little. He toled me that he thought he was engaged in too many things & that he desined to selout some of them, but I suppose he has written to you from Louisville. It is all a mistake to believe there is much difference between the Southern & western Countries there is some difference in the length of the seasons but the soil in the west is eaqual to any in the world. In coming here I passed through Tuscumbia a village about double as large a Boonville Mo. It is at [the] termination of the Daca & Tuscumbia Rail Road. I went on the Rail Road to Courtland 20 miles, in two hours. The country around Tuscumbia & Courtland is beautifull. After coming fifteen miles this lide of Courtland I got in to Mountains which continue to Tuscaloosa. The soil is generally Sandy in all the southern that I have seen
The farmers have planted Cotton and some of it is up. Corn is generally up & some has been ploughed over the first time. Peaches are about the size of hazzlenuts
When I was in Courtland I saw Wm. Watterman – Ethelbert & John McMahan & his lady who is quite small & pleasant. Also O’Cravens & his lady. They all looket well, & seemed well content.

Col McMahons & family is expected to come to the south & settle in the vacinity of Ganesville where a farm has been bought for them

Erb is an ambitious young railway carman with a talent for oratorv and organisation. He is greatly given to open-air speaking in Southwark Park, and, exercising a powerful influence over his fellow employees, plays the leading part in a strike, and, being discharged, founds a Carmen's Union and is elected Secretary. The proceedings of the Union, the rivalries and intrigues[...] are related realistically and with an abounding humour; and Erb's romance, his love of the practical, pretty, slightly lame little teacher of elocution brightens through the rougher elements of his career with an idyllic charm… —From the review in the Bookman (UK) October 1913.

​AZARA, DON JOSE NICHOLAS D , the elder brother of the naturalist, born in 1731, was appointed in 1765 Spanish agent and procurator-general, and in 1785, ambassador at Rome. During his long residence there he distinguished himself as a collector of Italian antiquities and as a patron of art. He was also an able and active diplomatist, took a leading share in the difficult and hazardous task of the expulsion of the Jesuits from Spain, and was instrumental in securing the election of Pius VI. He withdrew to Florence when the French took possession of Rome in 1798. He was afterwards Spanish ambassador at Paris; was three times deprived of, and restored to his office; and was finally preparing to return to his antiquarian studies in Italy when he was seized with a fatal illness, and died at Paris in January 1804.

DOVER, a city of the United States, capital of Strafford county, New Hampshire, situated on the Cocheco, a tributary of the Piscataqua, at a railway junction twelve miles north-west of Portsmouth. It has eight churches, a high school, a city hall, and a public library; and the water-power furnished by the falls of the Cocheco encourages its industrial activity, the principal results of which are prints and other cotton goods to the value of upwards of £200,000 annually, woollens, leather, boots and shoes, hats, oil-cloth, sand-paper, iron and brass wares, and carriages. The town was founded in 1623, and received its city charter in 1855. Population in 1870, 9294.

See also Ulpian on Wikipedia; Ulpian in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
ULPIANUS, Domitius, Roman jurist, was of Tyrian ancestry, but the time and place of his birth are unknown. He made his first appearance in public life as assessor in the auditorium of Papinian and member of the council of Septimius Severus; under Caracalla he was master of the requests. Elagabalus deprived him of his functions and banished him from Rome, but on the accession of Alexander (222) he was at once recalled and reinstated, and finally became the emperor's chief adviser and praefectus prsetorio. His curtailment of the privileges granted to the praetorian guard by Elagabalus provoked their enmity, and several times he only narrowly escaped their vengeance; ultimately, in 228, he was murdered in the palace, in the course of a riot between the soldiers and the mob.
Ulpian's period of literary activity extended from about 211 to 222 A.D. His works include Ad Sabinum, a commentary on the jits civile in over fifty books; Ad Edictum, a commentary on the Edict, in eighty-three books; collections of Opinions, Responses, and Disputations; books of Rules and Institutions; treatises on the functions of the different magistrates, one of them, the De Officio Proconsulis Libri X., being a comprehensive exposition of the criminal law; monographs on various statutes, on testamentary trusts, and a variety of other works. His writings altogether have supplied to Justinian's Digest about a third of its contents, and his commentary on the Edict alone about a fifth. As an author he is characterized by doctrinal exposition of a high order, judiciousness of criticism, and lucidity of arrangement, style, and language. Domitii Ulpiani Fragmenta, consisting of twenty-nine titles, were first edited by Tilius (Paris, 1549). There are modern editions by Hugo (Berlin, 1834) and Bbcking (Bonn, 1836), the latter containing fragments of the first book of the Institutiones discovered by Endlicher at Vienna in 1835.
