Brady says you had better not ineolae? yourself for Rial? as he is a very uncertain whimsical man. O I am too sorry you drink ale or anything of the kind, let me entreat you to take nothing at all not even for your stomach's sake, sooner keep a smoke in your office than a bottle. Mama asked Pa if you drank now, he was quite startled said he never knew John to get drink but once and asked Romaine if there was such a repeat?. R said she had not heard any suck thing, Mama said she used to know it to her sorrow. I have several times heard such things, but now I cast them behind me with the painful past, or things that were but one never to return. Do you hear any thing of the Duhigne? Fever said to be so fatal, what is it, I hope it wont reach Chicago from Galena where it is said to be so bad. Riale? told Frank there were some Chicago people here today. Our rail road is to go on.
