To Mary Plummer From Jos E. Plummer

Mrs. M. K. Plummer

Dear Mary

I was really pleased to get another little letter from you last Monday and to hear all well but you did not state how you were pleased with Copano and the inhabitants and your new mod of living all of which I should have liked to hear however it wont be long before I'll see & know by personal observations for it would add much to my happiness to find you well satisfied & I got one from your Joe also both short and boasting of Ducks & now I can eat medling Bacon sometimes but could eat Ducks too if I had e'm but. since I was sick care but little for either I can't get strong as formerly but still going constantly

Mr. D was to leave New York last Thursday for New Orleans via Havana and will be at home probably Friday next

Mrs. W stays in Nashville for the marriage of her Niece Miss Washington till after New Year so I never expect to see her again.

I was glad to hear you had something to read & that Berm had got back safe & sound & that C was doing a fair business & your Cousin Bob was to be spliced to Beverly & booty I hope I will be the means of a total advantageous change for him, are you not tired of my long winded pen however I feel like scribbling so I scribble but I forgot to say my horse is lame in the shoulder and I fear permanently ruined don't know how he got hurt but miss her services much, in 25 days I shall be free, I must close by sending love to all Kiss Elton & let him Kiss the puppy for me

Blessings attend you all

Your affectionate F
Jos E. Plummer

Tell Joe I don't care a straw about his selling Copano so he is satisfied he can ever realize any thing from it an live comfortably & contented there.
