Scope and Content
It is only a short time since I wrote, but it is not to ask for money, but to make Mother a present of 50 dollars, which is £10..5s..3d, I should like her to let John get her a gold watch. Tell me when you write again if Ellen and Lizy as got watches. I was surprised to hear of the death of Mr Palmer. I am sorry Harry is out of employment. Tell John I am very pleased at his success. I have had enough money to buy me 150 acres of land and 40 head of cattle or 100 head of sheep since I leaft home. There is lots of cheap land 4-500 miles from here. I am sorry about Vin. I have got a very bad leg poisoned, but it is getting better. Poor George Richardson is in the same fix as I was when I was in Mexico. I had to pay 10 cents on your letter
