and sais she is Father’s Boy this winter - she thinks as much of her picture as ever - she brought her hand over it carassingly and - sais - poor little Cynthia! poor Cyntha why dont you speak Cyntha! Mr Nevens sais remember my love to Mary Sarah and Cyntha and tell them that my health is comparatively good to what it was to what it was when he used to be a loafer in Saratoga that I can cut my allowance, and sleep my watch, and perform my dayly vocation - without much fatigue, and he begins to think he will be quite a man yet. When you wrote me last Robert and Mary was at Graefenberg - since then I have heard by the way of Miss Safford that Robert was insane. Now Cyntha I want that you should answer this as soon as convenient and tell me all about Robert & what the cause of his trouble - and just how Mary and Sarah is and whether John and his family is in Kansas - and how deeply they have suffered in this political harrang there - as John is one of the free state-men I suppose he has had a little something to do there - I should like to know some particulars as we have a few Buchanan Neighbors that pretend not to believe about any blood shed in Kansas. remember my love to that dear Mother of yours Mary Sarah Jennie Anna & (Robert for I hope he is Robert ere this) and I will close hoping we may meet in some pleasant nook of uncles Sams domain at some future time and enjoy the past over again. A word from the pen of Mary or Sarah or any one else would be greatfully received yours with many good wishes and much love your friend R Nevens
