Ours is a huge, half-developed country, and the development of our resources, particularly the coal and iron industries, the cotton; rice, cane, and tobacco industries, and the railways demands thousands of helpers.

When we meet, let there be nothing to alloy a happiness so pure, so unbounded. Our little boy grows charmingly; he is much admired here. The colour of his eyes is not yet determined. You shall know when it is. As our papers were mixed, I left my writing-desk open; pray lock the drawers and desk both, and keep the key yourself. Have you any rice on hand yet? It sells here for five dollars cash.
