Gold Rush Era Letters

Your kind letter dated March 2d [2nd] was received the 3d [3rd] inst. enclosed with one from S. A. Jewett

I was very glad to hear that you were all comfortably well at the time you wrote, but sorry to hear that Harriet had been so unwell -- under your kind care however I hope and trust that she will soon regain perfect health and be hearty more than ever before. Mr. Jewett wrote me quite a long letter giving me a very satisfactory explanation of all matters of which I wrote Mr. Tucker about, still as Mr T. has promised me a more full explanation still, think I will not answer Mr J. until next mail. I am led to believe that everything is as near right and correct as I could expect it to be under the circumstances and I am well satisfied that Mr S. A. Jewett did all in his power to make the settlement satisfactory to me and I think I had better let the real estate remain the same as it now is until I return home and whatever you all agree to do with regard to it, go on and do the same as you would if I had no interest in it and I shall be perfectly satisfied.

I must say however that I do wish, that Mr Locker which you speak of would buy the house on the corner for I think it would be a great benefit to us if he should do so. I was not aware until you wrote your last letter that Dea Blake had got a partner in his business. In your next please give me more particulars.
