This document is torn in two places on the right side.  There is no date but 
must have been about the same time period as the other letter from Little Rock.
 
Sir my Post Office in Little Rock, Arkansas
 
There are a great many people in NC that I am Strongly attached to, and there 
are several which I would be glad to see, then there are others that I have been 
intimately acquainted with that I don’t wish ever NOTE: crease in paper – to see 
again  ??? can’t read -  moved than when we parted.  If I live and can have 
health and the blessings of heaven I hope to make money before I ever return if 
ever I do, I suppose I have a wife somewhere in N. Carolina and also a dear 
child. My child is all that I can – torn – for in this world, and for her I will 
live – torn – work and at some future day if – torn – live we will be together. 
I do not know – torn – I think I can get money enough to make – torn – 
independent at least I will try. If it were – torn – possible thing to make a 
reconciliation  - torn – my dear wife then I would return and live with but 
unless that was to take place I never expect to make my home in N. Carolina 
again.  – NOTE: crease in document – we all have our failings I have mine  and I 
have been treated wrong ?? by others.  Others seems to be determined about me 
and I can be as determined as others.  When you see my Mother please say to her 
that I am well and have not forgotten her.  Tell her to write me and I want you 
to write to me and -  torn – we know what is going on and what is – torn – also 
if you know how my wife – torn – and where they are staying – torn – 
correspondence with them whatever – torn – more than glad to hear from you & - 
torn
  Accept my best wishes for yourself and family and believe as ever your Sincere
