User-Contributed Transcription Office of the Cincinnati, Law and Chicago Rail Way CompanyLa Port, Indiana, Jan 27th 1836My dear friends Abby:Do not think I have forgotten you because I have neglected so long to answer your last good letter, I often think of you very often & wish I could see you & talk with you for I know it would help me to be a better man, to be less engrossed in business to give more time to the cultivation of my intellectual & spiritual nature, I cannot tell you now how busy I am, how much care I have, & how little time I get for anything outside my business, I occasionally attend fashionable parties here, but I do not enjoy them I am there & sick of "codfish aristocracy" I find but little truly congenial society. & so to keep from being lonely I have given myself up to business. In business I have been blessed more
