User-Contributed Transcription Piqua Ohio Feb. 6th 1853My Dear Friend Kendall Your kind and interesting letter was received about two weeks since. As I was then about ready to make a tour South, I thought I would delay writing till my return. Had a very interesting trip-- was gone little over two weeks. Went to Nashville Tenn. and eighteen miles south of there, to Franklin. The object of my journey was to obtain information of Railroad operations. Sufficient to say that I felt well paid for my time and expense. Could not have asked for a pleasanter and more agreeable opportunity to visit Jesse. Went from Louisville by water. The scenery along the "Ohio", below the falls, and the Cumberland is exceedingly delightful. The latter River is narrow but deep - its course is winding, through a country varrigated with hills and rocky elevations.The general information acquired of the country, of men and manners, the acquaintances formed to ? made would have paid me well for
