Dearest Jennie
I have but a moment to write you and that must be on business. Wm C [Lindsey?] wants to pay eight hundred (800) Dollars on the note against him which is in the bank among the bonds Please have that amount [?] on it when you receive the money I have directed him to send it to you. I am quite well but almost worn out shal get through with my great hurry in a day or two. Wish you were here with me when can you come. I will meet you at end of track
Affectionately your husband
Saml. B. Reed
