Dear Brother

I have just got to the office on my way home from your place. I have received your corn & finished paying for it and also bought 50lb more corn at 50 % per bushel. I don't know how that will suit you but you said you wanted 200 bushel and as I only had 250 I thought I had better take it while I had the chance for if I let it slip. I did not know where you could get any more and the 250 bushel that I brought was yellow corn and I had the last 50 bushel throw in the old house. Where Mahundro had his hay it was white corn and good and solid. Please send me the $25.00, which I paid for the last corn, (I have done paid for it.) But I am liable to be called on far it at any time on debts owed. I am looking for the other money. I wrote to you for I will be out here at the office tomorrow when the mail comes.
Well as the park I have found several that have some to sell, but the most went to sell right away. I found one man close to your place that did not have his hogs quite fat, he wont kill for 3 more weeks. I spoke to him for 1,000 or 1200 lbs. for you it will cost 6 cent per pound, but that is better than shipping you meat. Write just as soon as you get this and let me know if you want to close the trade with him for you. I tell you that you ought to be down there now for Mr. Mahundro said that those fellows that had corn in the field were going to put stock in the field, and they will be allowed the place you had better make some sacrifice on your Tobacco than to loose more. Some other way for you know that it is so far that it is a good days drive far me to go down, these short days and my children are all going to school but I don't mind doing all I can for you, but it is so far that they can destroy so much before I should find it out Mahundro is moving some of his things and can get out at any time and Mr.Brim is going to move the last of this week or the first of next week, so I will have not one there that I can depend on the look after things I am pretty certain that's can get Roger & Brown to help me to take care of your things if they don't, I will take care of them my self. I thank, as it is so dry you had better ship to Paducah and I expect by rail. I got you letter Saturday that you wrote the 9th, be sure and write just as soon as you get this and let me know if you got my two last letters on was written the 6th and the other was the 11th. Well I will close for this time love your brother John A. Lee

I told Mahundro to tell those follows that I forbid them putting any thing in the field they were trespassing, for their rent rates were due the first day of Oct and their time is out but if you don't get down they will keep the fence down all the time and that stalk field is with the right smart to gave and if you were their you would have no trouble in saving it. I will not go down any more until I get an answer from this letter I am very busy trying to save my funds I have got my morn all together and I will tell you how it turned out. Very light I sometime think I will yet go and see cousin John Powell if I can not get him to help me some but don't say any thing to any one if I go I will go sometime next week. I got a letter from John Dyer Saturday, I think he is all right yet and allow one from Willie, but did not learn much only Willie don't think that John and Teddie will ever go back to the old neighbors hood. John Dyer advised then not to go there. I think they are reaping their reward for their security. Write soon.
