• . . l believe I have ·nearly ·got through the troublesome business of settling my affairs with the Hawkins estate and I have in this settlement given up at least one fourth of what I was entitled to, in order to have it finally finished and off my mind. . Mr Perry is going on very well and will soon have some_cabbins up, I have a situation joining him sp that after n while we will be near together, within half a Inile, and T hope shall yet enjoy some peace in each others society-it distracts me · to see you un- happy-everything has turned out differently from what I expected when I first wrote to Perry to move, the _prospects were then very good and the country in peace, but if you were satisfied I should not be at all discouraged at the present state of things-this country must prosper in the end, it cannot be otherwise-this year has been bad-unusually wet, and filled with trouble, but next year will be much better-this world is all .trouble, .or not so bad, just as we chuse to make it--c~ntent is everything. •• STEPHEN
