| Transcript | $$H90 Part of the Frederick Brown Catalogue$$H Dear Parents, Your letter to hand this evening. I was glad to see it you are in good health. Hannah was reading about the cow being calved and her teat was all right again but she was too modest to say [paps] she skipped it and when I read it she was going to take the broom to me she is terrible modest. Poor Bob he hardly gets in the door till she is perched on his knee. It would make a dog [hi-?] his daddy to watch them. This is a nice city but not as well laid out as K.C. it has narrow dirty streets. I got here on Sunday and [star?]ted work on Thursday [-------?] with Bob and Sandy. But I am looking out for a good Job in a Grocery Store I have a promise of a Job. I promise (sic) to send you Uncle Davids letter but I forgot it I enclose it this time. John George and family were all well when I left them. I had 14 hundred miles of a ride from Kansas to here I passed through some fine country on the way. I have not room for any more news this time you might Gog Samuel's mind writing. I sent him a letter and a paper but got no answer yet. Please write soon and if you get Home rule come to the land of Liberty. Your aff. son. J Brow[n]. Transcribers Note:- F.W.
