| Transcript | New Orleans April 11th 1850 My dear Joe The enclosed from John together with yours of the 25th [March?] Reached me about 100 miles on the Mississippi coast from this city whither [whether?] I had gone on business. I arrived here on tuesday last. As the postage was paid it would have been better if Jno [John?] had enclosed all to you. I am very sorry to hear your sad report of Uncle and think he is a fit [sod?] for a Lunatic Assylum [asylum?]. I suppose neither [Makey?] nor his bro [brother?] ever see him. How do they get along? I see by your remark about the [Heslafan?] Agitation that you adopt the view of the "Hatchman" A sheet in my opinion as notorious for its advocate of despotism in Church Matters as for its high political [privilege?] Dr [Bunting?] has been too long & he [frightened?] of his "hethen [heathen?] the Lord" I cannot believe that the "great expelled director? the "Mob" at Bristol and am better acquainted with the people there than you are. I suppose you [burst?] of information is the "Hatchman" and hope the [assation?] is as gratituitous [gratuitous?] as it is slanderous. If it is it must have no love for nor confidence in either party. My [Route?] across the Atlantic will be direct from here consequently will not see you in Philada [Philadelphia?]. Dont write to reach me here later than 1st June. Can I do anything for you there in any way? If so command my humble services Your affectionate Cousin William Montgomery |
