User-Contributed Transcription French this is a typed version of the two previous pages Cincinnati, Ohio, December 26, 1854N. Kendall, Esq.:Dear Sir: - I have nothing new or important to write, The times remain about as they were--no perceptable change, if anything the money market is more stringent, and all business is dead. Our City is suffering for the want of rain to raise the river to a navigable depth. We have no stock of fuel; our shops and foundries are stopped for the want of coal, and the poor suffer on account of the very high price, but, thanks to a kind Providence, we have at this moment a fair prospect of sufficient rain to raise the river so as to float coal and other boats, and if we are not again disappointed, many hearts will be made glad, and our community greatly benefited. I commenced this letter merely to ask you to post me up on our Rail Road matters. How do things
