Posted My last letter containing draft
14^th August/52 [1852]

Business up to the present time with me
has been much after the old style.
I am well provided with Money, at the present
moment I have in cash $200 – –

I hear that Mr & Mrs Moffett are going to
the Australian gold Fields in a few weeks,
in fact a great number of the English have
left here for that place

Enough for this time
as My friend Pina says,

With love to you, and Emily

I remain your ever
Affectionate Son
