Normsville. Septbr 19 1840
Dear Brother
I have written to you every week but received no letter last week from you.
We are well. We expect to start the bolt for Country work next week. The ground 20 or 30 bushels or corn last week and some wheat that was bolted elsewhere. I have made no trade with the wagon or houses yet. Money gets scarcer every day. Times in fact are remarkably hard.
I do not know whether I shall be able to pay for a pair of French buns or not. I also need six or Eight hundred of carting yet to complete the mill whether I can get them is yet to be seen because there is no money. Get all the cash you can or we will stick. I cannot get mine in Columbiana County. Raise all the cash you can as nothing is equal to it. Kentucky Indiana Illinois & Missouri [?] is all good here. But if cannot get cash and can get good 3 year old or older cattle get them. Or good horse would not sell next Spring but I almost know you cannot buy them soon enough. I saw Farmer Kirby last week. Louisa was well then.

TFP-009b
From present indications I think DrKurtz will not get to Indiana this Fall. It will at least be best to place no dependance on him. Do your best to raise cash there is no mistake about business here but funds are necessary.
Alfred Heacock
I have received but two letters from you altho I have written to you every week since you left. The letter about Louisa being sick and not able to come ought to be sent next Saturday I suppose or the week after at furthest. Write on receipt of this.
Be sure to send Hannahs Saddle. You know how she values old things from home. If you have a saddler there get it rigged up so that it looks pretty fair.
