Since I returned to this place I recd 6 letters from home and I think at presant I will not come by your house Part of my letters contains news very argreeable and part not so pleasant. Sr I rec'd letters from Two my most particular friends—which arrived on the coast about 30 days ago one is formally the president of the Branch Bank of Kentuckey one I presume you know he was five years ago the Speaker of the House of the Legislature Mr. G. B. Thompson of Mercer County they are my most devoted friends Sr I wish to see you very much. The Barron comes down for the purpose of raising money for to pay his expense in the Legislature I know well what is his business you will say nothing to him on the Subject of my business and letters he is a man very wavering and inconstant in mind and acts.
