Galesburg Ill. April 24th 1853 Dear Brother;

                     Your letter was received some time since but I have had no time to answer it. Miss Woodbury has been sick and my school duties have been Enormous. She is well now. Achah Mr. Weaver and Sarah have been here? since I wrote you. Abby is very low with the consumption; there is not hopes of her recovering as I can see - She may survive through the Spring but I think she cannot through the Summer and Autumn. Otherwise we are all well. I wish you would see Holden again and settle with him. I sold him my  Rockaway $125.  I left a note on Lewis Putnam $70 & upwards.  On Mrs Jones $68 & upwards.  Ms. Vincent $13 & upwards. Mrs Richardson paid about $8.00.  Note on H.H. Wheatly $8.75 in the Finisher of the Law $5.00,  Mrs Bruce 5 or $6.00.  I left some small bills with I.C. Clark to collect and pay some small bills with. I have not heard a word from any of these. The bill of I.F. Gates
