GEORGE W. KORNEGAY TO WHITFIELD GRADY - 1858


NOTE: Top line or lines cut off from scan

Dear Mother and Sister I have taken my pen in hand to inform you that we are all 
enjoying  common health hoping that this may find you all well.  Dear Brother 
you don’t think much about us or you would written before (crease) now.  I have 
not recd back  a letter from now of you but Cousin Wm B. Kornegay wrote one to 
me but I have not heard from you since you don’t write at all you have certainly 
forgot me; Dear Brother you don’t know how I am situated here.  I have taught 
three months school and have commenced quarter I am so earnestly engaged that I 
have not got time to go about to look  at the country.  I have not as many 
schollars at present at the present time.  Several grown young ladies coming now 
and in all there is  31 schollars.  I intend if I can to get off from my 
employees this fall to go and look at the country.  I have 4 dollars for each  
students & think I am doing better business than I can there on them old 
Sandridges I can get from 250 to 500 dollars a year here but I have to give for 
clothing here twice as much as there.  I have several grown young men coming now  
If I could see you all once in awhile I should be satisfied.  Dear Brother I 
wrote to you for sisters part that father willed to her but have not recd an 
answer yet; I expect to buy it from her and if you have not been at any trouble 
before you get this just write to me how I must act to be ready to settle with 
you when I come back there. She asks me 115 dollars for the whole. I think that 
two much.  I want you to write to me how much you think how much I would be safe 
in giving.
Dear Brother, I am not positive whether I shall come out this fall or not but if 
I don’t I want you to act with my property as you did before hire before I am 
out and rent out the land if you can do it privately the best do so Please.
Brother I am to have same as you ???.  I don’t want to hear ?? him nothing more 
but remain your affectionate brother until further separation July 27th 1858
Geo H. Kornegay
Howdy ?? sister remember her love to you all.
Charlotte remembering her cousin Charity
