I am anxious to hear from you at all times. Father and Mother, I hope you will write to us oftener, every month, and direct your letters to Pleasant Exchange, Tenn., Henderson County. Aged Father and Mother, we through the assistance of Almighty God are on this land and among the living, and enjoying of our health, very copiously. Hoping that these few lines may find you all enjoying the same state of health. We people and our relations are all well as far as we know at this time.
Crops are tolerable good.
Corn crops are very promising. Cotton crops are not so good as we have had heretofore, owing to the wet spring and the grass growing so immensely that it has injured our cotton very much. Wheat crops ware injured very much with the rust. Oat crops were very good. I have 20 acres in cotton though it is not very good.
