My heart leaped for joy\r\nto know you had returned safely after\r\nso long a trip.  I am thankful too that\r\nit was in every way pleasant.  I am certain\r\nyou have been benefited in many\r\nways, and that it will ever be a pleasant\r\nera to recur to.  I long to see you as I know\r\nyou will have much of interest to com-\r\nmunicate.  Sallie \u0026amp; I are still reading\r\nthe New York Tribune (which I suppose\r\nyou sent me) which we find very in-\r\nteresting one can almost can imagine they\r\nhave been to the Centennial, at any rate\r\nall who did not visit it will never\r\nknow how much they have missed\r\nI have no doubt you are quite busy, and\r\nif it was not so difficult to get to and from this\r\nbe[    ]ghted thicket I would go down to see you \r\n----------------------------------------------------------\r\nBut just at this time I am feeling quite unwell\r\nhave an attack of sore throat coming on\r\nwill take medicine tonight, which always\r\nrelieves me in three or four days.  I am still\r\nfeeling some inconvenience for the severe hurt\r\nI received some four weeks since which I wrote\r\nyou about directed to New York .  Sam was \r\nout here three weeks ago doing some work on\r\nGastons press.  I do not think he is doing\r\nmuch from all I can learn He would have \r\nworked at the Factory indeed did work there\r\na short time but they do not pay any one he\r\nsaid consequently quit.  Mr. Grove is here just \r\nout from Willis and says Sam wants the place\r\nShep has been in treaty for where Mr. Hampton\r\nlives which is just above Mr Wiggins.  I wrote to him \u0026amp;\r\nasked him to come out here \u0026amp; put me up a room\r\nwhen here doing Gas work he did not allude to it. He is now\r\ndoing some work for Charlie Jordan on the\r\nBar room, I suppose to pay his board there\r\nWhile you were gone Mrs. Ashe wrote to me urg-\r\ning me to make her a visit \u0026amp; to be there when\r\nyou returned.  I could not go then as I was \u0026amp;\r\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\r\nam still hoping to go our to see my Sisters\r\nwhen I do go down,  so as to kill two birds with one stone\r\nGaston is determined to get our of here for several\r\nreasons, one of which is he does not get sufficient to\r\ndo here for his Gin \u0026amp; Mill to justify staying . His family\r\nmay remain here until spring, indeed he has\r\nnot as yet any decided upon a plan of operations, is now\r\nginning a few bales of cotton. We have all had\r\ngood health up to this time, which is something\r\nto be thankful for.  His Gs Cheatham cotton is\r\ndoing well. his corn gathered \u0026amp; his horses all fat\r\nThe Stotts family have all moved to Willis, Old\r\nLynchburg \u0026amp; on the Bay seems to be on the down\r\nhill grade. I am afraid we will not be able to \r\nsell our interest there for some time.  Gaston\r\nhas sent to Houston for a Condenser \u0026amp; when it\r\ncomes to Willis he will go in for it \u0026amp; I have thought\r\nsome of going in with him \u0026amp; so on down to Houston \r\nprovided I am well  Will in that case leave\r\nElliot with Sis, but dislike to [      ] her with\r\nthe care of him as her health is not good tho\r\nthe cool Northers are bracing her up some\r\n-----------------------------------------------------------------\r\nMr. Long of Houston spent two days with us recently\r\nwe found him quite agreeable, he professed\r\nto be a great admirer of yours \u0026amp;c \u0026amp;c\r\n\r\nWith kind regards to our friends in Houston\r\nand much love for yourself from\r\n\r\nYour Mother\r\nMary Jones\r\n\r\nSallie says \"why you don't come up\" and tell\r\nus all about your trip    Sam kept me\r\nposted in your movments during your absence"],"sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","@id":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/bc386j47r/manifest/sequence/normal","rendering":[],"canvases":[{"@type":"sc:Canvas","@id":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/bc386j47r/manifest/canvas/1544bp30x","label":"uhlib_1970_003_do955695491_0001.tif","width":640,"height":480,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@type":"dctypes:Image","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/1544bp30x%2Ffiles%2F8632a69e-03d9-4b68-bf91-f72432328dcc/full/600,/0/default.jpg","height":480,"width":640,"format":null,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/1544bp30x%2Ffiles%2F8632a69e-03d9-4b68-bf91-f72432328dcc","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/bc386j47r/manifest/canvas/1544bp30x"}]},{"@type":"sc:Canvas","@id":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/bc386j47r/manifest/canvas/c534fp11g","label":"uhlib_1970_003_do955695491_0002.tif","width":640,"height":480,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@type":"dctypes:Image","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/c534fp11g%2Ffiles%2Fef63e4f8-bd11-4465-84a8-e2fbe2723e48/full/600,/0/default.jpg","height":480,"width":640,"format":null,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/c534fp11g%2Ffiles%2Fef63e4f8-bd11-4465-84a8-e2fbe2723e48","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/bc386j47r/manifest/canvas/c534fp11g"}]},{"@type":"sc:Canvas","@id":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/bc386j47r/manifest/canvas/7h149q15f","label":"uhlib_1970_003_do955695491_0003.tif","width":640,"height":480,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@type":"dctypes:Image","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/7h149q15f%2Ffiles%2Fed984ef7-bfd0-4276-86d3-76aced060765/full/600,/0/default.jpg","height":480,"width":640,"format":null,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/7h149q15f%2Ffiles%2Fed984ef7-bfd0-4276-86d3-76aced060765","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/bc386j47r/manifest/canvas/7h149q15f"}]},{"@type":"sc:Canvas","@id":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/bc386j47r/manifest/canvas/ft848q872","label":"uhlib_1970_003_do955695491_0004.tif","width":640,"height":480,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@type":"dctypes:Image","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/ft848q872%2Ffiles%2Fbbe1a2ba-bc75-4f73-a22e-61709e2cd425/full/600,/0/default.jpg","height":480,"width":640,"format":null,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/ft848q872%2Ffiles%2Fbbe1a2ba-bc75-4f73-a22e-61709e2cd425","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/bc386j47r/manifest/canvas/ft848q872"}]}]}]}
