Carleton received James' letter on Friday and his speaking of retreats made Carleton long for a "Ritiro" at Sts. Giovanni and Paoli. Carleton will draw on James today for $600. He has hitherto had no James today for $600. He has hitherto had no mortagage from John Lawrence and it is for the purpose of consolidating that he asked this of Carleton, as now Carleton will receive $100 a year from him. John has every reason to think he will be punctual, and if not, he will give up farming and sell out but as he has now taken to salt and water, Carleton thinks his health will now be good. Salt and water is Carleton's hobby. Carleton may yet convert John to God's Church. He is satisfied that Rock River is the place where he can be most useful. Grace Bayley is very well. The drought ended last Sunday. They are having tight times here, both in money and in hay. Carleton asks to be remembered to Mr. Young and their Reverences. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
