I received a letter from David not long since They were all well and doing well. The new shops were very near finished; and I learn they are very extensive buildings. It is astonishing how they have got along considering their loss but a year ago. I have also got resently a letter from Mr. A. Holmes from Terre Hautte. He informed me that his health was quite restored, and appeared to be quite cheared with good health of himself & family. Sarah Holmes, his wife, was then on a visit to Cincinnati; where I have since learned she was. We are now in great expectation of soon having a rail road from Cincinnati, through Columbus & this place to Cleveland. I have little or no doubt we shall be able to go from this place to Cleveland on rail road in two years. It will then be but a small job to go to see you, which I am again very anctious to do. I suppose Doct. Bean has concluded to remain in your part of the Country. I cannot but hope he has as I should be pleased to see you all together as far as possible. Please give my best respects, my best love to Doct. B and his wife. I wish they would write to me. My best love to father and Mother. I should like to hear how they are. Also to your wife and do not forget to write me soon and inform
