! that he has not had time, and then i,
has been SO hot that he just couldn',
keep cool long enough to get his ideas
together and not run all into one. As
We have had some nice rains and it is Il
little cooler, I will try to get out an
other edition.
Since writing my last letter, | have

burg Counties. | have also driven
from Broad River to Prosperity, and
must say that the prospect in that sec.
