Col B. M. Terrell<\/p>\n

Dear Sir,<\/p>\n

Yours of the 23 June came yesterday with half of $100 note.\u00a0 I have written you two or three times \u2013 once warning you of the rest of $100 from curry on the 26 June.\u00a0 Thomas has quit.\u00a0 His prospect with Henry Stodden Co. young ones fell through & he has now bought out Stewart (his late partner).\u00a0 Col. Duncan, the celebrated U.S. artilary officer who was second in command under Ringgold at Palo Alto, died day before yesterday at the Mansion House.\u00a0 His disease was pronounced \u2018yellow fever\u2019.\u00a0 He had been traversing the lone Mississippi & the Bayons at and about New Orleans carried him sick about\u00a0 10 days before his death.\u00a0 It is a melancholy occurrence in having risen from great abscurity to very high distinction by the force of talents that {word?} a young man.\u00a0 Our city is very healthy\u2026..{can\u2019t read the next few words}\u00a0 We are collecting nothing \u2013 selling nothing.\u00a0 Stewart has got mules.\u00a0 Coly talks of going to Europe.\u00a0 Lynn is in New York.<\/p>\n

Collect from Maurkchulk [spelling?] $10.91.\u00a0 buy some of his candy if you can\u2019t do better.<\/p>\n

I got our books straight very soon \u2013 am at mark at Coly & C.S.M.\u00a0 Cotton is selling at 7 \u00bd\u00a0 – very little on hand [or might be handle].\u00a0 The 2 July has passed very quietly over.\u00a0 I [word?] on the Buy & Winther at 12 at night.<\/p>\n

I will attend to the Bloise case.<\/p>\n

Your Reply,<\/p>\n
