Title: 1849-07-17 +PLYMOUTH MICH----WAYNE CO----BLUE CDS & BLACK MS 10 RATE-----TO CHARLES J HORTON AT CAMBELLTOWN, STEUBEN CO, N.Y.-----FROM O. STEVENS AT PLYMOUTH MICH---IF I DO NOT GO TO CALIFORNIA OF WHICH THERE IS SOME PROSPECT THERE IS PROBABLY SOME 10 OR 12 THAT WILL START FROM HERE THIS FALL FOR THE LAND OF GOLDEN DREAMS AND SHINING DUST AND TO TELL THE TRUTH I HAVE ALMOST MADE UP MY MIND TO GO WITH THEM TO THAT PROMISED LAND AND SEEK MY FORTUNE IN THE VALLEY OF SACRAMENTO---AND YOU NEED NOT BE SUSPICIOUS IF YOU HEAR THAT I HAVE LEFT HOME AND FRIENDS AND ALL THAT CAN MAKE LIFE PLEASANT AND AGREEABLE FOR THE SAKE OF THE PALTRY YELLOW DUST. THINGS HAVE GOT TO SUCH A PITCH IN THIS COUNTRY THAT A CHAP MIGHT ALMOST AS WELL BE DEAD AS TO BE POOR FOR HE IS NOT HALF AS MUCH THOUGHT OF AS THE BRUTES THAT RUN IN THE STREETS WHY IT IS I CANNOT TELL BUT THAT IT IS WE ALL VERY WELL KNOW. THE REAL MORAL WORTH OF A PERSONS CHARACTER IS NOT LESS FOR RESPECTABILITY AND STANDING IN SOCIETY BUT IF A FELLOW CAN MAKE A GREAT SHOW, AND SHAKE THE ROCKS IN HIS POCKET NO MATTER HOW ABANDONED IN CHARACTER HE MAY BE TO HIMSELF YET HE CAN MOVE IN THE HIGHEST CIRCLES OF SOCIETY AND MAINTAIN A BETTER STANDING THAN AN HONEST POOR MAN. BUT IT IS NOT FOR THESE REASONS THAT I WOULD DEPRIVE MYSELF OF THE PRIVILEGES OF CIVILIZED SOCIETY BY ANY MEANS. NEITHER WOULD I COMPLAIN OF MY FORTUNE BUT I HAVE SOMETIMES THOUGHT IF I COULD SECLUDE MYSELF FROM SOCIETY AND BURY MYSELF IN SOLITUDE I WOULD BE CONTENT. BUT HOLD! ENOUGH OF THIS TRASH. I AM HERE SURROUNDED BY ALL THE COMFORTS OF LIFE AND LOTS OF SMILING LADIES TO CHEER ME UP. AND BY THE WAY CUZ. I MUST NOT FORGET TO TELL YOU OF A FLIRTATION THAT I HAVE CARRIED ON WITH A HANDSOME YOUNG WIDOW HERE. I CALLED UPON HER SUNDAY BEFORE THE 21ST INS. WHEN WE AGREED TO GO ON A RIDE AND OF COURSE WE WENT AND WAS GONE TWO DAYS AND SUCH A TIME AS WE HAD CANNOT BE BEAT OUT OF MICH. I NEVER WENT ANY WHERE ANY LADY THAT I ENJOYED MYSELF BETTER WITH THAN I DID WITH HER AND IN FACT I AM QUITE SMITTEN AND HAVE BEEN TO SEE HER EVERY SUNDAY SINCE. I GUESS I SHALL BE ABLE TO WARD OFF CUPIDS DARTS, AND KEEP CLEAR OF BROKEN HEARTS. BUT YOU KNOW HEARTS ARE EASY BROKEN AND EASY MENDED. I HAD A LETTER FROM AMOS THE OTHER DAY HE IS WELL AND SAYS HE GOES A FISHING OCCASIONALLY. PERRY AND WIFE HAVE BEEN SICK ALL OF SPRING AND SUMMER.AND HAVE LEFT THERE PLACE. THE REST OF THE PEOPLE ARE ALL WELL. I HOPE YOU WILL WRITE SOON AND LET ME KNOW HOW YOU GET ALONG. GIVE MY RESPECTS TO YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER AND SISTERS AND ALL THE GIRLS THAT MAY INQUIRE FOR ME BUT IT WILL NOT BE MUCH USE TO SEND MY COMPLIMENTS TO THE GIRLS THEN AS THE YOUNG WIDOW FILLS MY EYES---GENEALOGY---3 PGS---PAGE 1---EBACH-WHITFORD AUCTION 2003 LOT 773 $90 Read More..
