	Dear Father    I have
not done anthing yet
Judge Stanfield has
not came yet so of
course I have not done
much yet please write
and tell me if you have
heard of a horse I will
need one when I take com-
mand. I sent word down
to Dale with Mr. Foster
but he may forget it
tell Mr Dale to put one
large pocket on the inside
of my coat left side and
pockets suitable for my business
write and let me know

how you all get along
     give my love to all
     your obedient Son
