User-Contributed Transcription at Milo & Brownville; about which I want to hear, as then you had dresses etc. to have made at etc. etc. and I do not believe you will get to N.H. before some time in July.Probably you will stay till Anne gets there. Charles I think will go about the Middle of July. Samuel Conant talks of going about the first of July. He is horribly frightened because there are said to be a few cases of Cholera at St. Louis; and he is afraid to go through there. It is very healthy in all this region. No sickness of any kind apparently.Perhaps I am likely to stay here all the Fall. We have not commenced Track Laying yet at all. There has been no rise of water to bring up Iron at Big Muddy, we have to wait until the Track is laid through the first Division which will be a Month or so - give us good convenient time to get every thing out of the way. Business is progressing at Centralia; and I shall have to be there considerable of the time.Wherever I am I intend to write to you more or less every Sabbath. And you must not neglect to write to me. You know I am here all alone. You are there among friends: I need letters much more than you do - do I not?You must excuse this letter: even if you cannot read the whole of it. It is very hot indeed. And I am rather languid & lazy today even apart from that, having done a good deal of riding in very hot sun last week.
