New Orleans Nov 29th/41

My Dear Wife, We arrived here yesterday all well, had a very pleasant trip down, We have nearly discharged our cargo and now ready to receive up freights, we find but little freight for St. Louis, or Cincinnati, but I have concluded to put up for St,Louis & in case I do not get a full freight. I shall purchase sugar salt etc? on my own account, to make out balance of cargo,- I think we will be able to leave here about Thursday the 30th inst. - I shall send this letter by S.B. "unclear Morgan" which leaves here today for Louisville, - I have not unclear with symbol - abbreviation for 'received'? any letter from you yet, But I suppose it is in consequence of the failure of the Mail, as no Mail has been unclear with symbol as before here for the last four days from the North. I send by the same conveyance a package of Newspapers, addressed to Cousin Jane, which I have no doubt will amuse her for a few minutes,- Egbert will return with us to St. Louis & from thence will visit your fair City, so you may look for-
