there will be no more cause for unkind feelings to exist between you. Father I respect him as being one of God's noblest works But ah how has fallen But he may yet recover and be an ornament to his family and an honor to his God. How happy we might be if we could have the counsels of such a father as he might be. Then I would take delight in holding a correspondence with him in resorting to him for advise in all my undertakings. How happy to would you be with such a man for your husband. Prosperity would again smile when you. Father to oh; how happy he would be with his family gathered around and with respect looking to him for counsel. And as shure as effect follows cause so shure would this be the result. You said you would be pleased with a visit from me this fall. I should express great pleasure in so doing but my funds will not permit me to for I received the first year but 35 the second 55 and this year 75 little did I think when I left home so long a time would intervene before I again revisited it and yet two long years have rolled past and are reconnect with things that have ben and I am still far from that home. You wished some assistance from me I will try and see how-much I can do it will not be much however as you see from my ways but every little helps. Give my my respects to Father and tell him I wish he would redeem the promise he made me when we parted of writeing to me and I hope we shall open a correspondence between us such as ought to exist between a father and son, tell him I shall look for a letter from him (untill I receive one) with anxiety Tell him to forget the past and look to future. Give my respects to my aged Grandfather and tell him that I entertain feelings of respect and gratitude towards him and that he will ever live in my memory, give my respects to Brother Edwin Sisters Sarah and Lydia and my younger brother and all the inquiring friends.
