[May 15. 1865]

investment -- and money is the grand
object of my sordid pursuit just now.

I don't like to be obliged to
take up my residence in another
new State, but I think I see
an opportunity to better my fortunes,
and perhaps to secure something
like a competency. If things turn
out fortunately I shall go home
next summer and marry you!
What do you think of that? There is
only a little if in the road, and
I feel too strong to be turned
aside by so insignificant an impedi-
ment.

I feel very sure that I shall
go home next spring if I am not
beset, in the meantime by very much
worse fortune than I anticipate now.

I will write to you from Carson
and send you a copy of my paper. In
the meantime continue to [??] your letters
as heretofore until I get settled and apprise
you. My love to Sue and Mary [Gors??] and to
all whom you and I number among our mutual
friends. God bless you Nellie.

Your affectionately
Henry R. Mighels

[left sideways margin
P. S. Please [??] to let mother know you have heard from me.
I haven't time to write to her now.
Ever true H.]
