Evie
I am withe a Party of 4 prospecting in the mines in Greenes gulch. We are camping out. I think it is best for me. I expect to go home soon but do not know yet when. I have been writing once a week to you all spring and have got nothing from any of you. Adison [Samuel Addison Roberts] wrote me the other day that you are not getting any letters from me. I am in town getting the mail for our party. Write.
