John has been there for two weeks, where he is visiting with their parents. It is doubtful that he can raise enough money to attend lectures during the coming winter. If he can do no better he will purchase some medicines and practice to get some money to pursue his studies. This others have done. Their parents are well but worn by old age and hard labor. They have sufficient income to refrain from hard labor but insist on working. The wheat crop is good but does not develop well in that region. James has married R. Walker two weeks ago. Jerome is still at home and has made little advance in his studies. He is pleased that Francis intends to visit them next summer. If he will mention the cost of his fare their father will forward the money. Father Martin Pobst Pope, a German priest, lives there half of each month and Father James P. Cahill at Piqua also comes occasionally. Hugh Mckeon lives at Rossville, Staten Island and their father wishes that Francis would visit him and ask him to write about Ireland. Uncle James McKeon was at last account living in Poland, New York. John would also like to hear from Francis. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
