SHELBYVILLE, Nov. 4, 1851
DEAR BROTHER: When | came into
Charleston, day before yesterday, /
learned that you are anxious to sell
the land where you live, and move to
Missouri. l have been thinking of this
ever since, and cannot but think such
notion is utterly foolish. What can
you do i'll Missouri better than here? Is the
land any richer? Can You there, any more
than here, raise corn and wheat and oats
without work? Will anybody there, any
more than here, do your work for you? If
you intend to go to work, there is no better
place than right where you are; if YOU do
not intend to go to work, you cannot get
along anywhere. Squirming and crawling
about from place to place can do no good
you nave We raised no crop this year; and what
you really want is to sell the land, get the
money and spend it. Part with the land
you have, and, my life upon it, you will
never alter own a spot big enough to bury
you in. Half OF what you will get for the
land you will spend in moving to Missouri,
and the other half you will eat and drink
and wear out, and no foot of land will be
bought, Now, 1 feel it is my duty to have
no hand Ill such piece of foolery. | feel
that IL Is SO even on your own account, and
particularly on mothers account The
eastern 40 acres intend to keep for mother
while she lives; if you will not cultivate it,
It Will rent for enough to support her; at
least, 1t Will rent for something Her
dover in the other two forties she can let
you have, and no thanks to me. Now, do
not misunderstood this letter. I do not
write it in any unkindness l write it in
order, if possible, to get you to face the
truth, which truth is, you are destitute be-
cause you have idled away all your time.
Your thousand pretenses for not getting
along better are all nonsense. They de-
ceive nobody but yourself. Go to work is
the only. cure for your case. A word to
mother Chapman tells me he wants Won
to go and live with him. If I were YOU. /
would try it awhile. If you get tired of it
(as think you will not), you can return to
your own home. Chapman feels very
Kindly TO you; and have no doubt he will

CARE OF HIS sTEPMoTHER.

Lincoln's affectionate care for the STEP
mother who had loved and cared for him so
tenderly in his boyhood, continued un-
abated so long as he lived. sHe could not
bear" says Mr.. Speed, .to have anything
said by any one against her" In the fol-
lowing letters his consideration for her well
fare and his regard for the children of his
step-brother are very apparent:

In speaking of Lincoln's regard for his
stepmother, it is interesting also to learn her
opinion of him. A gentleman, visiting the

plain, unsophisticated old lady, with a
frank, open countenance, a warm heart,
full of kindness toward others, and in many
respects very much like the President.
Abraham was evidently her idol; she
speaks of him still as her good boy and
with much feeling said: He was always a
good boy, and willing to do just what 1
wanted He and his step-brother never
quarreled but once, and that, you know, is
