Samuel Jackson to Sarah Jackson
Clifton Pl-antation November 27th 1859
Dear Ma
Your kind and most welcome letter of date 14th inst has "just" been read. I am glad to hear you a progressing so finely in packing &c &c but cannot help acknowledge my disappointment, for I have been made to believe that Pa if not you, would have been here "long" e1 re this. So I have been constantly on the watch, every boat I	think he	or all would certainly be aboard,
you know how it is,	how	restless	it makes any one, it makes me
nervous. Pa wrote me he would come down himself "early" in November "certain". And I would go up for you and the furniture negros &c and it is "most" important he should be here. Logan [Sovit] & Co seem to be "very" uneasy, and write they can not and will not wait any longer. I think they have heard of his changing his house.	Mr	Russ	has	been here spent one night with
me and sayes he can	not	wait	any	longer on Pa that he has
borrowed money on very short time and is compelled to have it.
Mr [Lenard] has also written and sayes his merchants have written him pa had failed to settle some business matters with them early in the Fall so they are anxious to see him. so you see the importance of his coming down "immeadiately." And I can, if he wishes, return for you.
I wrote to the	Dr this	morning and	sent	it	to Pearlington.
this will be sent by Billy to the Bay in the	morning. Tell Pa I
have not a grain of	corn on	the place.	Give	my	best love to all.
And accept the love	of your	most
