Dear Brother:
I answered your card at once to let you know my position in regard to buying goods. Everything is selling low now at auction and I should not dare to invest. Can buy cheap however. Then again I expect to leave here soon perhaps in 2 weeks. Still I could buy and ship goods for the coming month but hardly think it best. I am for Cleveland [?] because as Gen. Bragg says "I love him for the enemies he has made. I have been reading the Chinese Tribune "Sun" and "herald" also "Puck" & "Harpers" and I am surely
a p
a Cleveland man
I shall want some money from $30 to $50 before I leave as I must buy some clothes and pay my fare to St. Louis. Clarence said he would lend me the suite I needed so you will not be obliged to send me any–Will write more later
Your Brother
