I am well now But I Have just got out of a bed of sickness.1 I Have Had the Intermiten fever and pretty Bad.
Walt a friend in need is a friend indeed. I will ask you wanst more to Help me a little if you could lend me ten Dollars for a short time say six weeks or two months until I can sell som corn. I will Have about 2000 Buishels But it wont be ripe for six weeks or two months and then I will send it Back to you with may thanks after I get things fixt up then I think I will pay you a visit and we will enjoy ourslves as of old
write just as soon as you get this,
yours truly, Joseph C. Baldwin
