Salem. 9 mo. 12. 65. 

Col. Brown

Esteemed F'nd,

I have just received a letter from a member of the Association in Phila, requesting me to write to thee relative to the Orphanage at Point of Rocks. From what I can understand thro' them the family has not yet been organized; myself and daughter regret exceedingly we are not able to be there — but hope our strength will return and we will be able to leave home the latter part of next month — 

Have Misses Patten and Dixie, the ladies formerly in charge left yet?
