Rose Springs  Sept. 27th, 1868
John E. Irvine, Esq.
	Yours of Aug. 19
has been received and conterris
noted = I have been trying to sell
out for some time = but have not
succeeded in doing so yet.  If I
can possibly sell between this
and Spring I will return to
Missouri and attend to my
business but during the mean
time try and find out all you
can from my Cousin of whom
you speak in your letter and
send me his name in your
next letter for I have so many
cousins that I don't know
which one you refer to and
give me his address also and
also try and find out my Sister's
address.  You will please find out


all that you possibly can about
my business and let me know
and I will send you some money
to go on and will pay you well
for your time if I succeed in
getting anything.  Politics are run
ning high.  Seymore and Blair are
all right.  C. T. Roussin and
family Spencer and family
Pelton and family vic send
you their best respect and
hoping to hear from you
soon.  I remain yours.
		P. H. Calaway
