Letters of Rev. John W. Alvord

I had hoped to have been with you in your moving—& fixing as I suppose you have had to do, but it has been ordered oth-erwise. Many good things I am doing here I think of wh. I will tell you on my return

Keep the Landlord quiet until I can see him

Have you heard from Mr Blasland, & has our friend Todd paid you?

Tell the boys I have some pomegranates for them

Yours as ever J. W. A.

Co'l Howard took me to the plantation (5 milles) on which D^r. Adams planned & wrote his "South Side View". Do you want a leaf from it? It has a very North Side view just now.
