A CENTURY AGO (Continued From Last Week) Letter'Four . Illinois, Nov. 30, 1837 Far Distant Friend: It has been so long since I have had the pleasure of receiving a letter from your hand that I should hardly knov^ your handwriting if I did not have some of it on hand. I have taken so much pleasure reading it for three or four years past and I hope that I shall have the pleasure of receiving some more from some one who I have taken so much pleasure in writing to since I left there last winter. But I have not received^kny from any persons since I have been in this, country yet but I nave,written several and one trf you, which' I expect you have received before now as. Mr. Walker wrote at the same time and his have been answered since. I presume that mine have as there is one in the office for me that I saw advertised a few days since and I sent for it once but did not get it, so I-have to wait until I can get another chance to send in for it. It is better than forty miles from here to Chicago, where all our letters have to stop for that is the near* est office for us, But we are in hopes that in another year we shall have one in town to accommodate old bachelors. I expect that you would like to know how I like this country. The longer 1 stay here the better I like it and the more it seems like home to me. II I had a home of my own then I should be happy and take comfort and 1 hope that in two or three years that I shall be able to get me a house and things for it, so that I can come to that place and meet you there a» friendly as we last parted, and may we be so well united that we will not content to part from that place without bearing each other's company. And may we take that course that will make us happy through life and spend our days happy together if we should think it best to go from all of our connections. I think that this country is the best place that I have ever seen for young peopfe that are just setting out in the world and that they can find for any business that they have a mind to engage in in life, but it is time it is hard to think of leaving, the home where you have spent all of your youthful days. But what is there in that place to enduce young people to tay.- I can't see anything. If you can, I wish you would tell me, other than it is home. I wislv it was so that you could come and visit this country $nd then you could make up your mind for yourself, for I consider that we had ought to take such steps as will make U9 happy. I wish *it was so that I could be there as I was last winter. I think that I should be apt to make more marks on that paper than I did last winter. If you recollect you can find that paper you may make a long mark for that visit to--Sandborn's. Give my love to them and tell them that I have been to see Thomas Pike's farm and that they were well and in good spirits. They play on the piano in their log house and onei of the girls is to be married soon. You must excuse me for not writing before and write often and not wait for me to write. Mail your letters to Chicago. Forget me not, good night, ~ W. LADD.

Friend Caroline: f. once more seat myself in the old bachelor's shanty to let you know that I have not forgotten you entirely, although I have neglected to answer your letter that I had the pleasure of receiving, after waiting for so long to hear from you. The first letter that I had the pleasure of receiving from you since I -have been in this country was in the middle of April, which •assured me that you were still a friend and that there was no neglect on your part about writing, as you had written one or two before that, which I have never received by my being in some remote spot at that rime of your writing your first lettrrf. This place was hardly a name F^r the eye sees things that it is hard for/ me to describe, I am such a bungler with a pen. Your cousin, I. Hobart is in this country.* He has been here three or four weeks and he says that he is going to have him a place here and mo^e here with his family for he likes it better here than iaJJhio. He is now going down to Plain^ld to See the Hebron folks that live there. Excuse all. the imperfections in writing and spelling for it is so long since I have tried to write that it comes hardfer than ever. I remain your friend and well wisher. * W.

V. v Letter Six . . /'*> McHenry, 111., Mar 31,ri839 Long Neglected Friend: - " Caroline, I once mere take my seat in the old shanty to {et you know that I have not forgotten you yet, although 1 have given you reason to think that I have by not answering your letter before. But that is not so yet, nor. do I wish it to be. Although I still remain so fa? from you yet my thoughts often reach that place with much pleasure to think that J have a true friend there that I have reason to put all confidence in thus far and hope to consider you so, though you have reason to think that I do not intend to answer your letters. I hope that this will assure, you that this is not the case for it is not so. I received a letter from you the last of December that was dated the tenth of October that I had been waiting for for a long time very impatiently for I thought that you were so out of health thpt you could not write for _I had heard that you had received mine, l was very glad to hear from you to hear that your health was good at that time for I had heard that it was very sickly ^there. You wrote that you had been very much confined taking carc of the sick,--your aunt with the rest, so that you could not find time to write, so that I can excuse you for I have received two Jetters, for one. I had gotten ready to go down the river at the time I received your first letter, so thalt 1 had no time to answer it and I have put it off until this time to answer your lettofs. ~ I retu*jed here the 28th and found another letter in the office that was dated the twenty-eighth of January that informed me that your health was very poor at that time, but I hope that your health is better before now for I want to get your package of letters that you said you would send if 1 did not get your letters. I begin to look for them for it has been so long since you wrote to me. I went down south about sixty miles where I worked most of the time. The winter has been very pleasant and with but little snow. It bids fair now for a forward spring. Some have commenced plowing. I have seen the most of- the folks that moved from there this winter. They are most of them in good health now. Some had the .ague and fever last summer but they mean to stay here for all of that. - ' I have been favored since I have been in this country and have prospered as well as I expected to here at' first, but we have to put up with hard feed yet. We^ hope for better as our country gets more settled and the old bachelors fetch one some of the old maids into this country from the east- But they will have to wait some time longer for , it is rather hard times to raise hopes to start out on such an excursion at this time. If you Mary B. tell her that S. is going to raise a house for her to live in when she gets out here>with us. I expect that you would like to know when I ex^ect-te- come back to visit that country. I did Intend to come' there this summer when I first came to this country but I have given it up for tjjis year, for the times are so <hard for money that I cannot come and Also make what improvements 1 want to without getting into debt. *1 intend to build me a small house this summer on my claim, I find it very expensive beginning to farm it fon all we have so good a chance to begin. If we had our land cleared off before we could" begin to ing sick. I was laid up • last spring eight weeks ttith a sore tha| tame on my neck. I had it lanced' five times before it got well. My teeth were shut tight for five weeks so that I could not open them to bite anybody. My health was very good through the summer, then I was laid up with the fever and ague! so that I have not been able to work any since and h^ve had to keep around the house the greater part of the time. My heaVth is gaining_very fast and I hope to go to work soon or else the children will be crying for bread. I can truly say that I can see the need of a home more this year than I ever did before In my life. If you can ttell me how I am to have one 1 should be glad to know. * S. Walter has had the ague this fall. You will perhaps think that this is a sickly climate but it is generally healthy here. • There have not, been nearly so many sick this fall, as there were last but it was my lot to be sick. Perhaps that you will think that my being sick here will make me dislike this couhtry, but not so, for I think that I have seen the hardest of times that we shall have in this •country.- v ^ /- We can rai$e all of the produce hefre that can be raiigfe'd' on the eastern coast and more abundantly, and some kinds that they cannot raise. The most of the fruit that we have in this .country, grows wild and we have first rate plums. There arejsome apples that grow wild but the name of them tells their flavor, they are called crab apples. In answer to your secret wish and selfish motive I hardly know what to say, for I cannot tell whether it is on your account entirely or on account of your friends, for I expect that they twit you about coming to this part of the world and say it is out of £he world here, but it is a mistake entirely. I think that this part of the world is truly on one side and there are but few who are willing that their children should know any better for fear they will leave them and come to the west to live. But if I knew that til of my folks were against my living in this country I think I would stay awhile longer for I should be glad to get some of the money that I have laid out in this country before I leave it for good. But I expect to have to pay out mpre another year for we expect that our land will come into -another year and if it does we shall have to fly around to meet the sale. If it does, I expect that S. Walker will go east as soon as we find out when our land is advertised and I expect that he will try t<v fetch M. Bout here with him if he can get her started, and he hopes he may, and that, you may come too so that she may not be homesick. S. Walker and I are boarding together this winter. We have first rate sledding now and Netf Years is •close by and the young folks are wide awake for a ball to commence the new year with. Excuse this writing and spelling for it was written in a hurry. This i9 from/ your friend and well wisher and I hope these few lines will find you enjoying the greatest blessing that is to be enjoyed in this world,--good health. I must bid you good night W. LADD.
