place in addition to what we have of our own. I am anxiously looking for the waggon with the cotton, in order to send some things back by here, and also because if I had the cotton now, I could make it equal to eighteen cents to me. I wish you also to let Cesar plant okra, beans &c. &c. in the garden & if Jenny is cook she can work half the day in the garden and do all the cooking at the same time. I wish you would speak to the unclear gentleman your father & tell him I request of him if he can possibly spare some of his coarsest pork to let you have a little for my negroes, & if he lets me have any make Cesar salt it up. I will write you again by next mail & send you some more money - inclosed is ten dollars to pay for horse collars &c. I am very respectfully your friend D.B. Mitchell
