Brown writes "Dear wife and children All: I wrote you March 25th enclosing draft for $150, saying write me care of American House I was [?] to say what articles you need of provisions, clothing, shoes &c. Have you written? I still wish you to retain what money you can for a few days; as I hope to be at home to advise with you about laying it out."

All well A Hudson, Akron + West Andover lately. May write you again before getting home. My best wishes for you all is that you may truly love God + his commandments.
