JAMES LUCIUS CLARK, UNDATED
. . . out by the week, what do you think of an uncle [Daniel Brown Clark] that you may say has
raised me, I lived with them from the time I was 7 years old untill I was past 21
my little boy thats sick is only 8 yers old, just Crys and he worries aout hearing what uncle Said
about sending them away from me and my babys not 3 yet The soldiers home is at
Debuke Iowa, it looks like uncle wants to get us way of out of his hearing he wants me to go
2000 miles away to Florida to father Mudges if we dont go to the soldiers Institution, you see he
is thinking about us not haveing our house plasterd and nothing to Clothe us Comfortable with
for the winter, and I guess that he is afraid that he might have to help us and would allmost kill
him to do that I Suppose that you are not so that you could give me a little to help
me to get fixed for the winter, I wash and I Iron all that I am able to help ourSelves
with do you Still think of going out Prospecting in the Spring if you
do I hope that you will have good luck, and that you will find it will pay you well, does it get very
Cold where you are in the winter do you have plenty of Fruit there, The people
that have got Orchards and vineyards Seems to have plenty Even our Folks have
plenty of apples and peaches and grapes but we dont get any of it God Stands
ready to Judge . . .
