Mr. Swain:

Sir:  Having gain information from Mr Robert Corson concerning about the particulars of the condition of my affairs and I will send it up to you and you can read it for yourself and please return it to me.  Hoping that you will be successful in regards to what I request of you for I am greatly in want of them.  I am expecting every day that they will fail and then what must I do.  I have not met up with any person that is able to loan me enough to purchase a pair of boots or shoes.

Yours and &c
