Thus my dear brother I have given you some outlines of my experiences, since your dear sister and myself bade you and the family goodbye on that January morning in eighteen forty nine, during the forty years that have since elapsed, many changes have taken place, and many deaths have occured in the Haywood family. I would like to nee you and the rent of the family now living, I am thinking of soiling the Hotel and retiring from business, should I do so I may give you and the old friends in England another visit. And hoping such may be the case I am affectionately your brother P.8. After reading please send to brother Samuel Haywood, for him to read. Will send you some photographs of the children, look out for them by mail. 213
