i shall try hard to do same thing
this winter and if i dont [don't] make a raise
i shall damn California for ever
and where i shall go to then will be hard
to tell. when you fee like writing Just
direct to sac city Cal [Sacramento City, California] to either of us and
we are sure to get it and dont [don't] make the
poo [poor] excuse that it is getting late, but
write all you can think of. Tell Lewis
if he is tired and wants to leave that
to hold on awhile and come out here he can
come some times for 50 to 75 $ [dollars] and this is
the best state in the union to live in
i am sorry he has got the place in such a fix
on account of them notes. but as mel [Mel] say
if there is a god in Israel i will try
and send they money to pay it. give
my respects to all those that are concerned.
and tell Erastus in particular that if he
dont [don't] dry up his talk about me i can tell
a thing or two about him i will send
my deguarreatype [daguerreotype] this mail and you can see
i am not as well as ever. i have a written
about all i can think of and therefore
i come to a close good night
