User-Contributed Transcription Mt. Washington KentuckyJanuary 2nd 1852Mr Nathan KendallDear SirAfter the lapse of a considerable length of time, and especially as it is the beginning of a new year and I have concluded to give you an Epistle, to the end that you may be reminded that you have a friend out here, from whose memory you have not been erased, and from whose feelings you have not been estranged. I have determined with the commencement of the year 53, to adopt a new rule in regard to corresponding with my absent friends. I am free so to acknowledge that I have been very remiss is doing my part towards sustaining a regular or even an occasional correspondence between us, but this remissness has not been from any want of negligence, but entirely from pure negligence, and I might add with correctness, partly [on the side] What do you say to coming to Kentucky again to teach the people here are very anxious to get you after Mr. Walkins turn is out
