Rockford, Winnebago County, Ill., June 4, 1855.
Dear Children,
— I write just to say that I have sold my cattle without making much sacrifice,
and expect to be on my way home to-morrow. Oliver expects to remain behind and
go to Kansas. After I get home I expect to start with my family for North Elba
as soon as we can get ready. We may possibly get off this week, but I hardly
think we can. I have heard nothing further as yet from the boys in Kansas. All
were well at home a few days since.
