Saturday July Dear Son It is with feelings of doubt and perplexity that I attempt to write to you not knowing whether it will ever reach you or not, not knowing the cause of failure yet I hope you have got word from us er'e this I am writing up stairs in the new house quite a pleasant place it is much cooler than it has been a week or two back and I hope you are not having to work so hard to keep cool down there you say in your last that you have no money and it appears no friends at home I am sorry you should be compeled to arrive at that painful conclusion for did you or could I by any means make you know the truth you would feel very different I must have written two or three letters between the time the one was written that reached you at snake creek gap
