Now\r\nI do not know whether Mr. S had a\r\nsmaller or a larger interest than\r\nI have, nor do I know to whom \r\nI could sell, or if I did whether\r\nit would be best to sell at what\r\nseems such a sacrifice.  Yet I am almost\r\nconvinced that Trueheart has \u0026amp; will\r\nmanage the thing all for his own\r\ninterest \u0026amp; into his own hands.  I \r\nmight be able to judge of the matter\r\nbetter by seeing Mr. Sydnor myself\r\nI feel pretty well well convinced\r\nthat we never c will realize much\r\nout of the matter without years further\r\ndelay and expense in what may be an expensive and\r\nfruitless Lawsuit after having much\r\ntrouble \u0026amp; vexation with still further\r\ndelay.  You will perceive that I am\r\nthinking seriously of making\r\nthe sacrifice at once and be done \r\n-----------------------------------------------------------\r\nwith it forever.  I would like however\r\nto have your sage advice before\r\nI move in the matter, but it is not\r\nconvenient for me to go up to the \r\nBurg at present possibly I could\r\nGo up on the next Sundays\r\nBoat if Gaston gets home by that\r\ntime which he expects to do.  Could\r\nyou meet me there \u0026amp; in case I do not\r\ngo up see Mr. Sydnor \u0026amp; gain from\r\nhim what information you can.\r\nI suppose we could not hope to make \r\nanything out of Mrs. Allen on the\r\nS[     ] of the transaction on the part\r\nof her Husband \u0026amp; self being a swin\r\n-dle, she could easily hide away her\r\nmeans if she has anything so it\r\ncould not become at  even could I\r\nhave the complicated matter [      ]\r\nveled and prove the Transaction to\r\nhave been a premeditated swindle\r\n\r\nYou little know how many sad mo\r\n-ments this matter has cost me\r\nto see myself \u0026amp; children suffering\r\nfor the comforts that amount would\r\nsupply us with is hard for me to\r\nbear, as it has been lost through\r\n-----------------------------------------------\r\nmy bad management\r\n\r\nYou as well as the rest are st-\r\nruggling with poverty, how often\r\ndo I think of you my dear Son\r\nand feel a desire to write and \r\nbid you God speed, but what \r\ncan I say is the question.  I am\r\npowerless in point of means, and\r\nall I can offer is my boundless\r\nlove \u0026amp; sympathy - while I pray\r\nyour path way to better \u0026amp; brighter\r\ndays may not be mingled with the\r\n[        ] your Mothers have been\r\n\r\nMy health is not very good //\r\nat this time, tho better than it\r\nhas been for some time past\r\nI was a little more than half sick\r\nfor three weeks after my return\r\nfrom Sams In case you can come\r\ndown to the “Burg” by next Sunday\r\nand do not find me there come\r\non down \u0026amp; in case you cannot\r\ncome down write me \u0026amp; address\r\nto the care of Saml and Gaston\r\n-------------------------------------------\r\nwill bring the letter to me by next Friday\r\non Saturday as by that time his\r\nBoat will be ready to have there\r\nand he will home on her\r\nGaston is here today (Tuesday)\r\nI hear very flattering accounts\r\nof you in every way a bright\r\nfuture is predicted for you as\r\na lawyer and as a man in all\r\nthe relations of life.
