BREEZE THOMAS LOUGHRAN BREEZE & LOUGHRAN COMMISSION MERCHANTS IMPORTERS AND WHOLESALE DEALERS IN PROVISIONS & PRODUCE WHITTAKER'S CELEBRATED * SUGAR CURED HAMS ALWAYS ON HAND 217, 219, 221, 223, CLAY ST. San Francisco, 24/10 [24 October?] 1885 Dear William, Though I do not write home often, having little of interest to write about, outside of what you no doubt hear through Mary & James I think it strange you or any of the family cannot spare time to make some report about home matters. I have frequently specified points for you to refer to when writing, but it appears when you do write such are forgotton not probably having my letter before you at the time (one letter of Marthas excepted) I have spoken in nearly every letter from I have forwarded on this, but without any result, I certainly expected to have heard how McKee's farm turned out this season, & what changes &c you have made on it, do so on receipt. Business here for three or four years has been very unsatifactory and which I believe to be general, not only throughout the United states, but all over the world - Many firms have had to retire here - I have once [more?] commenced work on the [mine?] & trust a year will prove it to be valuable should it do so then you may expect me to make you another & longer visit. About a year ago I purchased a ranch upon which I have expended considerable money having had to erect dwelling house & barn &c & every thing requisite to carry it on. I purpose [propose?] planting it in great part with vines & fruit trees, James has been on it ever since & is very attentive, he has a young man named Coffy from [near?] the flax mill & another from Killinchy Called Anderson - I trust Jas [James?] writes regularly & has not learned my habit. Mary & baby are well, the boy growing fast Mr Andrews quite well [with?] me at st--- [store?] this of course you know - say to Martha that #PAGE 2 from a letter of hers to Mary I learned she was soon to write me a long letter. Is she so engaged with visitors that she has not time. If I do not hear from her soon she will from me - not to her - well I won't say more at present. I have just learned from Jas [James?] that Ellen had her arm broken how did it occur? I trust she is all right again. How is Bessy & the childn [children?] not forgetting Mr & Mrs McGiffert [Send?] affectionate remembrance to all. How is Elizas health - where is Jane & how are she & her family &c I have written this very hurriedly & believe having nothing to add except to say that Louisa Childrn [Children?] all well lat--- [latter?] growing very rapidly - Love to every member of the family & believe me Your affectionate brother Chas.
