William Elmer Thorp correspondence, 1846-1868

1868-04-07 William E. Thorpe to his daughter Page 4

the Country is a very pleasant looking one and I think must be beautiful when Genial Spring clothes it in green I do not feel homesick any nor do not mean too I felt about staying Just as I did about coming that if I can do my Boys any good that I am willing to do so to the best of my ability and only wish I was able to do more for them it seems very pleasant to enjoy their society again and see them around Isaac seems to think he shall like the business pretty well if he can once get well started but it will take time and wants means to do with but hope he will succeed,  He tries to give all diligence to his Business he gets a great many orders to fill and he takes his market basket and starts off like a man of a family, I was going to tell you all about my journey out here but my sheet is full and so I must tell you all about it when I see you, give my respects to all my old neighbors, remember me to your parents Uncle Geo and all the rest of my old friends and with kind Love to yourselves I bid you good bye from your Affectionate Mother F.
