| 2now Bob if there is any thing that I
hate, it is, to see, friends, and Relations, especialy;
put on airs. Bob, I cannot help thinking, that
Belle, thinks us rather, inferior: something below; —
I can't express my idea exactly, I always like Hellen first
rate & little George aren't he some?
The Cousin, that I wrote, of is not exactly
cousin, to you, & I, perhaps second cousin, he is
the son, of John A. Kennicott: who lives in New [illegible]
he is one of the kind of cousins, that I like,
notwistanding, he is rather proud, and thinks;
himself, the greatest toad in the puddle.
He is the same kind of cousin, in Relationship
as tow headded, McMillen; who went fishing
with you, and caught nothing but crabs;
that was preatly tall fishing, warnt it.
I suppose you remember, the silver mounted
rifle, that we had, kicking arround, when you
were here, I took it to the gun shop, and had
it cut over, into a gaming twist, and
varnished up, now, it is the preatyest Rifle
I ever saw, prise $45. dollars, don't you waite
buy hey!
Mother Laura and all the rest of the folks are
well and send thier love to all the friends
I have been drawing loggs most all the time allong
Yours Truly Cousin Bill
