May 30, 1845.
Dear Son, — We
are at this time all well, but very busy preparing for shearing. Have had a
most dreadful frost over night, and am afraid the wheat is all killed. There
will be here no article of fruit. I trust you will perform your service with
patient spirit, doing with your might. The children will write you
hereafter.
Affectionately yours,
John Brown.
