I do not want you to be uneasy about
me or think that I will not fare
well. We have enough to eat of good
substantial food but a pie or cake
would not come amiss if we could
get them occasionally, but as we
can not get them we will be content
without. We have good warm woolen
clothes with blankets &c so that we
need not suffer with cold.
I want you to keep old Jake & bull
about right and when you write
again let me know how Dennis is
getting along.
Now I will look for
a letter from you in a very short
time. The letters come through from
Ligonier in 4 days so you had better
mail your letters there if you can
send them. You cannot imagine
how much good it does a fellow
to get a letter from home, away
down here in old Kentucky.
