• Notes

  September the 24th 1871 Morgans Creek Benton County Tennessee To Mistress Martha Tom Mary Stockton and Jennie Virginia White My dear grandchildren. I yet live by the help of the allwise Creator with the oportunity of answering your letter that I received a few days ago which I do not suppose you do not imagine the pleasure it affords me in my old age to hear that you was well and doing well. I had heard that your parents was dead but could not tell what had become of you. I am now about 82 years old in July past and very infirm. I have had seventeen children in all-but eight living all married and gone but one my youngest son stays with me yet. Some of them in Missouri, some in Arkansas and some in Kentucky, the balance in Tennessee. I have in all 54 grandchildren and eight great grandchildren and they are all well as common. I Received a letter a long time ago from some of your relations that your father made some entry of land away up the St. Antone but had not obtained grants for the same. The time I have never heard from it since. You will please let me know about it when you write me again. The general weather of the country is tolorably good. I had a good chance of property when the war came up consisting in negroes which was set at liberty. Only four of them staid with me. Martha Fry your father's sisters child that I had not mentioned she is living in two miles of me and doing well. Her husband having a part in two stores. The produce is going down in value. Corn is a short crop. Wheat not a half. Bacon 12 1/2 cts pr lb. Cotton 3 cts. Peanuts has opened at 1.50 cts. per bushel. Cattle low. Horses and mules 15 per cent lower. So no more this time. I can't think of all I want to write to you but I want you to write soon and often. James White NB I send my portrait though a bad one according to your request. If I had a better one I would send it to you. This is the best I can do at the time. Your Grand Father until death James White ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Periods were added in the translation for clarification.
