"bloody Indians" to have their summer which they seem to have omited from some cause. I was so glad to hear that "brother Geo." had returned home safe, and with such profound judgement on "political questions." I can but say "long may he wave". I wish I could come over and see him before he returns, but I cannot and do justice to my financial affairs. I am now laying the foundation on which the support of after years depends I speak of the money of which you refered to in your last. I am not laying my foundation large enough for "reveling in wealth and, having the deamon, discontent, for a guest." if he should enter my domicil in the future, I fear that he will not have as much capital at his command as he might desire to make him monstrous. Your last letters like the stories in the Ledger are always the best. Let us have another of your last, soon.
