Dear Brother Joseph Yours of the 12th inst duly received. I happen to have a pen in my fingers just now, but am by no meanst confident that I shall write an Epistle in full just yet. If I did its financial tone might be somewhat too apparent; that is if the sheet did not get tinged with certain "stomachic effusions" of a vomitic rather than poetic nature. Did you ever see a yellow dog? one of the true foolblooded Yallers? Well, I am not going to California. There is no need of it. It's all a humbug. I haven't got to get a yaller dog to carry to the mint either. I believe I shall go myself though. How many half eagles will 165 lbs good weight without boots or hair make? There are all sorts of folks here at our City of Grouts, and I find it perfectly safe to keep my door locked a nights lately, lest some of 'em should turn "Gold Hunters", and clip off "the Engineer's" fingers or toes for yellow boys.
