Mother speaks of John Demere's getting
a situation on the Brunswick Canall.
So I suppose it is being finished
though. this is the first hint
to that effect we have had.
Do write me all about it.
If Mr Wm Couper goes to the Rigatta
(as of course he will) tell him I
beg he will write me a full
account of it. I hear Randolph
has thrown himself away. John
Hairston left about two weeks ago.
he will be at home about Oct.
He promised me to go see you all
for me. Give this dollar to my own
little Anna for me. And tell her I
think of her as much as ever
and that she must not let this long
separation lessen her love and recollection
of me. Give my best love to our
dearest Mother and all at Retreat
Also to Mr Couper and your dear
little ones. And believe me
my own dearest dearest Sister
Your most affectionate brother
