  My Dear Sarah
     I fully intended to come to the Buffalo Encampment and make you a visit.  
  But I find it is not best for me to do so.  I have been under so much expense 
  and for the last two months there has been no business.  This is the season 
  when heating Jobs are being closed and I dare not take my nose off the grind 
  stone even for a week.  I do not know what Besses plans are I suppose she will 
  be married soon.  She and Aunt Mary just returned from a weeks visit up the 
  river.  Bess is looking much better since she has the school off her mind.  We 
  are getting along nicely at the house.  Christine's health has been good all 
  summer.  Kate McDonald has been here for the last month.  She and Christine 
  work together first rate.  Coods family and Fred and Edith are all right.  
  Bess, Yost, Fred and Edith are out on their wheels this evening.
     I do not outgrow the loss of Tean.  I do not allow myself to think.  Tell 
  Martin I am sorry I cannot come.  Remember me to all.  We has the best 
  Presbyterian preacher here I ever heard.  he came from Carthage, Missoura.  His 
  name is Hemmingway.  Your Brother Will
     P.S.  I am worried about Carrie and her family.  I do not see how they will 
  get a house before cold weather.  W.O.H.
