Dubuque March 4th, 1854 Dear brother Micah I arrived at this place at 10 o'clock this A.M. Am now in Dr. Staples office writing at Genl Torpp Table. I just said to Frask that I write to you to send them something. $100 will do for them Shawtwell was not open & I have not seen him you had better send the amt of his note, too. & that note of Peters Chase Geo will probably be sent to you to be paid & you had better raise money to meet it. I shall not have much to spare after paying our folks & will want some to purchase groceries with. I intend to go on tonight. Josiah Phillips in town. I may see him before I get off. Mean to get into Boston Saturday & home next Saturday (week). You must not fail to have the money to meet the note to P.C Geo. I have nothing new to write, health good, very pleasant trip down 4 days & two nights riding. You better collect every thing you possibly can that is due us. You will find $300 to Handskom perhaps you may have to get it of Godssey. But I must close in haste Henry
