Year letter came just at an unpropitious time, when my old minstrel had to kill my handsome Indian lad in self defense --- for which the coroner's jury has to-night acquitted him. But I was glad to hare it from you; because when you do write seemed to be in your lucid intervals. The only time I have any fault to find with you is in the long periods when you try to imitate a clam.I am too overworked to make any promises --- for by the time I have five men's jobs safely discharged, somebody is sure to drop on my shoulder[illegible] a load something like that of the last five days. But if god is good to me, I will try to take up03921
