go & we all provide ourselves with flunels and India Rubber goods for use when it rains. Shall get me flanel shirts & drawers to use if I want & my clothes what I get will be Stout and Servicable goods. We do not intend to go there without making something handsome. We shall provide ourselves here with provisions for at least six months so as not to be obliged to give exorbitant prices there. Each one is caried and provided for and I am sure our work will not bear hard as what I have done. We shall have tents to sleep under on the way& there till we can erect a comfortable building. I really believe I could do this better than or as well as trash about a store and the climate is not an objection, not a serious one--it is mild & the breezes from the Pacific are mild. It is said to resemble the climate of Italy, and as any when else one must not expose themselves or be imprudent. I should not live a month here or in Boston if I was careless. If one takes proper care of their health climate cannot seriously affect them & I believe I shall derive Physical benefit from this trip if I am not careless. And the Whole amount of this then is a grand chance for a fortune in a short time. People may tell stories, yes bad? stories --it is only from those who would like to keep back the crowd to get rich themselves. Why are men leaving the familiar Salaries of 2 or 3 thousand dollars to go? It is a fact. I hope you will enjoy yourself. I Shall ever wish you prosperity & do not think that I am unmindful of a good sister. Charles.
