As to the impressment of the cattle it is no more than I expected. It is not much better than robbery, but that is only the beginning. It will not be long before they take all a man has. I will not trust myself to write upon this subject. As to the mare for the horse I am willing to make the exchange provided your Pa as any man in whose judgement I have confidence will say I will not lose any thing. No thing of the least importance is transpiring here. We have rain every day and there is considerable sickness in the Camp. Ask your Pa if he still desires me not to hire out the Tanner Daniel. I am not disposed to let the man have him another year for whom he is now working and would prefer to make an arrangement to work him ourselves if we can get the hides. By the time you get home I will try and write you a letter directing certain things. My regards to the Family and say to "Lady" that with all my heart I shall live my lot and wish her a pleasent Sail. Kiss the children. Yours devotedly T. P. Saffold
