Milton, Ind.

Oct. the 8th, (18)61

Dear Father,
I embrace the present oportunity [sic] of writing you [you] another letter as I have concluded to stay here this winter and learn the blacksmith trade. I have been all over Milton. I believe it looks some better than it used to. The shade trees have been growing some. I will tell you now about some of the folks. I. N.(?) Discus was the first [man?] man that I saw that I knew. He is fat and healthy. He has a shop over the canal and lives there too. I found all well about Urbana. John Wellman had gone to war. Josiah Long was going. Old granny Long is dead. All the rest that lives out there was [was] well I believe. (cont. >>>)
