S. B. "Cinti." Dec 17. 1845

My Dear Wife,

We are at this time taking in Freight at Cairo, and will get a fair trip. -- The evening of the date I last addressed you, the news of a rise in the Ohio reached Smithland pr Stmr. "Thiump" I had at the time given up my frt. & passengers to small boats, and regretted very much that I had not learned of the rise before giving up my trip. However I will get a very fair trip back, and think I will be in a better place with the "Cincinnati" than to have been with the several boats at Louisville, say the "Alex. Scott" "Louisville" & "Empire" for unclear Louisville boats. --

My health remains good & I am growing stronger daily & hope this may find you all in health. -- I would like very much if I could spend the holiday's with you. But as I cannot, I hope you will all enjoy yourselves by family circle & feast on Mince Pies and other good diet. -- I will write you again from Memphis, and at more length as I shall have more time. My love to all the family & please accept the same for yourself + our darling children two words underscored. Your Affectionate Husband
