My dear good wife

    I wrote you last night but I am feeling lonely to-night & will write you a few words.  I called this evening on Charles & wife.  They are quite well & expect to commence boarding at the Teegarden House to-morrow as Charles told me.  I advise him yesterday to remain at her father's till he decided upon what he was going to do, but it seems he thinks best to commence boarding at the Teegarden at once.  I hope he will get into business at once.  I do not think it will be possible to get the Mill matters put over till the fall court.  I have had a long talk to-day with Judge Niles upon the subject.  I regret it very much as I think if it could be done we should be able to get back most if not all of our 

(along the side) Prince visited me to-day. He is looking well. They say is a good watch dog now at night
