Yank are afraid to say anything to them about it, I intend to kill everyone that gives me any sas and theirfour I advise all to be redy and shoot and hang the first one that gives any sas. If I thought that the negroes would be put on our lands, I would lay in the bushes the rest of my days and do nothing but kill Negroes not changing my subject at all but I wish it would stop raining, we have had rain for 11 days and it looks like raining this evening _ as I am in a hurry I cant rite any more at the present. Mother joins me in sending her love to your parents and sisters Laura sends her love to the girls and your Ma & Pa the family are all well at the present and enjoying good health _ now rite as soon as you get my letter and give me all of the news, so my respects to you and all of the family.
Remaining your friend
