the men making	rales, ditching	and manuring. And the women
taking the yellow cotton from the white. How is dear Sister the little children and Aunt Marion.' I do wish I could see you all.
I received Pa'rs letter, which he wrote in New Orleans, tell him the other nine	sack's of cotton seed have come.	I will now	bid

Your affectionate son Sami Jackson
P. S.
Enclosed you will find a letter for Pa which came a few days ago. I thought it was from Mr Wilder and opened it and found it was a letter of importance therefore enclose it to him.
