Abby handed me her paper to add to
Sarah B. and I that I would direct the same
to thy care as we have not heard where they
are located for [months] but suppose at [Sophie's] ^.^
I think of thee and thine very often and
as is the wont of the aged I ran over and

a letter from my grandson T W Collins who
has gone to [Tenn] ^and^ taken a farm on the table
land of the Cumberland mountains 60 miles in circumference ^.^ his farm
contains 200 acres (or more) and there is a
fine stream or river running thru his land
capable of being used for mill purposes ^.^

mill as he did at Colorado. There is good
timber there of all the different varieties ^.^ His
cleared land is only 20 or 30 acres ^.^ He

wild grass and the hogs on the [illegible]
