Plummer Papers

To Father From Frank

Dear Father

I have now been here 8 or 10 days & have been very well pleased & may say that I have entirely recovered my health. I have been hunting wild cattle running mustangs etc etc So you see I have enjoyed myself very well I wrote to you by Capt Byrne I had just started to Town to return with him but met a gentleman who told me he had gone, He did not get me all the articles that I wanted but would if I had waited. Mr. Royalls would try and get me the remainder he has no money & cant get any & I am out. P. M. Cockarll will go on to the States soon. I have wrote him bye the bye the old man is married again to Mrs Buttler of Courtland. I shall come by the first boat if you do not send for me write to me the first opportunity If you have any money I think I could do a little better if you send me a few $ but if you haven't why it don't make much difference for you know I have been without money so often in Texas that I am getting used to it

give my respects to all I hope you are in as good spirits as I am

God Bless you
Your Affectionate Son
Frank Plummer

P.S. all the family send there respects to you.
