PORTER

				Mt. Washington Ky June 16 1884
Dear Frank and Fannie
	This is sunday morning and Ma wanted me to write you a few lines in 
regard to the soap grease. She says if you have not made any 
arrangements about having it made up you can send it up. she thinks we 
can get ashes enough for 3 or 4 kettles full anyhow. and she says if 
her pig is old enough to take away when you send the grease you can 
send it too. Will and Edna have not been down yet and we hear no talk 
of their coming. We are all tolerably well at present and hope you are 
all enjoying the same blessings. I am at work at the shop now and you 
must excuse the shortness of this note, as I ought to be there now.
	F.P. Straus was up this week and I understand that John Tyler is going 
to bring suit against some parties for slander, which I suppose will 
come before the next time of the Circuit Court. and while I am down on 
the slanderer and think he or she ought to suffer the extreme penalty 
of the law, I believe things are in a better shape now than they will 
be after it passes through the court because that will bring out 
everything whether true or false and of course some things may be made 
public which would forever lay dormant but as it won't do to talk too 
much or too loud I had better stop writing, according to the old saying 
- we must be carefull where we talk, when we talk and to whom we talk. 
good bye your Pa LMP   P.S. write soon.
