Dr Col I received the previous & am much obliged. In N Orleans, I found pork at $10 & falling: & jeans & linseys at 28 & 38. Cox said if it could be got cheaper in Kentucky he would allow for the difference. Bagging & Rope are a little higher than they were & I think you had better buy in Kentucky when you go up.
Let me know when you will leave for Kentucky, as I must come up before you go. It will not be convenient to leave before next week.
The price asked for the Alexander Plantations & negroes (about 25) is $45000 , which is altogther too much.
The bank are all clear by Sharkey's decision. All well, & hope you & family are well. yours S S Boyd
