Jan 31st 1838
Dear Uncle
I embrace this opportunity of writing a few lines to you. I have not been with my Father for three years as I am following the River at this time. [M]y wages on the River are from $150.00 two $200.00 a month. I heard from my fathers family about three weeks ago and they are all well. [S]ister Hannah maried a young man Mr. Lewis Vaughn about the 18th of January. Grand father died here last fall. I expect to come up in the Spring and sell the land of Grand Fathers which was left to me. Give my Respects to all my relations friends and acquaintences.
Your affectionate Nephew
Jno A Applegate
P S Write to me immediately and direct your letter to Louisville Kentucky
