ring last trip as the jeweler does not have the kind he wanted he
told him that he had sent on to New York for a new supply and
they would be on in a few days so I guess he will get it this trip -
Tom has left Victoria he will be home to day or tomorrow he lets
on like he don't care anything about home but I know better
than that. he loves home as well as the next one. but he dont like to
acknowledge it. he went from Victoria to Houston to take charge
of an office there I don't know what made him give it out. you
can tell your Pa that Mayor Agusten is still living out about
Liberty. I don't know his Post office. I guess he can find out by
writing to the P.M. at Liberty. Kate you said that not one down-
here had asked you to share their heart and home. What you say
if I were to ask you to share mine. and would you believe me if I
was to tell you I loved you and no other.

Kate I will not send the things that I promised as I have no way
to send them. you can let me know before I come up whether you
want any thing or not and I can bring it my self. That mail
carrier they have in jail is a bad man I would not trust
him with any thing. if all reports are true if they give him
justice they will hang him. old Leander Fuller has come down
after his wife since [Lundy?] was [drown?]. I don't know whether she
will go with him or not. I was very sorry to hear that you have
been sick you must quit that way you have of [doing?]. I am in
better health now than I have been for five years. I think my
last trip up to Newton must have cured me. it is either that
or hard work I tell you I have just linked right down to it
every[sic] since I came home from Newton and I expect to
keep at it for awhile yet. you said you hoped I would enjoy
myself better the next time I come up. I assure you I never
enjoyed myself better in my life thatn I did when up there.
Well as I have told you all that I can think of at present I will hold up
you will find inclose[sic] in this one long Balad[sic] and if you will write soon I
will send some more. Kindest regards to all. I will [illegible] up by
asking you to excuse all errors write soon to your Sincere Friend
