User-Contributed Transcription Big Muddy this winter Rowley Smith & Co. will get through with their business, as a firm, and get away from the 2nd Div. probably this month or by first of next. Noel will go to his farm. Post to Cairo probably Smith to Big Muddy and Rowley I know not where. Write to me all about what you think of coming back here this fall. And how you would like to live a few years in Minnesota. Oh Ettie I haven't any French Testament here to read over our Two Chapters in. What shall I do -- I have not failed of it before. Perhaps though I can find One, Aspem the German foreman is here, and he a French scholar--perhaps he has one. I guess though I shall go to the Camp Meeting this afternoon. I will write again when I get time. I fear this isn't a very good Sunday letter. Much love to Father & Mother, who I suppose have now returned and all. Write to me all about everything--Most trulyIsaac S.M.
