the fodder an peas every thing is going well. When I was at the Bay last week, Louie the man that keeps the hotel told me he had two puppys for you that you got them when you were down, and could not keep them, he sayed it was too much expence so I took them home, they will, expect, make fine dogs but they are great rascals. I cant keep them out the house, and they tare up every thing they can get. they came very near destroying my new hat.
I find my cloths scattered at times all over the grond. I will now close by sending love to all.
As ever your affectionate son Sami Jackson
