Scope and Contents

Baxley acknowledges Timon's favor of October 26 and introduces his particular friend, George H. Walker who has been to the monastery of the Visitation Sisters at Kaskaskia where he placed his niece. As he was so near Ste. Marie's, Walker promised to call and see William Baxley who has always looked on Walker as an uncle. Baxley asks Timon to let William remain with Walker during his short stay. Baxley has had a few lines from Father Joseph V. Wiseman. He asks to be remembered to Wiseman, Fathers Paquin, Raho, and others. Baxley is pleased with his sons's progress. If William has not had an overcoat made, Timon is to tell Walker; Baxley left a suit to be made for William in the tailor shop. All are in a bustle over the election; this country has given a majority in favor of General William Henry Harrison over Martin Van Buren. Some doubt Van Buren's ultimate success, but this Baxley cannot concede. He extends respects to Timon's father James Timon. Mrs. Baxley joins in regards., P.S. Walker sends 100 kisses for William besides stories of his little sister, as yet to him unknown, and respects of playmates., P.S. Since writing this Baxley has seen Mrs. Owens who presents respects to Timon and Wiseman, love to her dear Thomas Owens?. Walker has a cap and glasses for William. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
