User-Contributed Transcription work on the road, I do not know what I shall be about next winter, some of the folks at Cottage Grove wish me to get a place here and sell their produce for them, they can not sell it to merchants here and get their pay, and are afraid to sell on Credit. If I could get enough to do to pay expenses I might do it, but it is quite uncertain, Should I find nothing to do here for 4 or 5 months I might find my way to Ohio. Could I get boarded there? torn manuscript do you hear from Eliab? I've had torn manuscript very small letter from him torn manuscript left Bangor, although he said torn manuscript that he had written me before, If he can stand these times I guess he will get along, How are Isaacs Du Quoin matters? While on the road at work I have been busy and contented, but since I got back here night before last I've been anything but in good spirits. I do not know what the trouble is. I do not feel at home any where. I suppose the cure is to keep at work,Best wishes to allWith much loveSamuel
