Dear Corbin,

I reckon houses in Fb'g will not fall much lower- and that purchase would be wise.

I congratulate you on security debts- think you have done first rate.

What do you think of buying in Richmond instead of Fb'g? property is going up there. I don't see when the tide is to turn for Fb'g.

I mail with this the Ga. speech. Whatever may be the local exceptions here & there, the south is as there stated going downhill.

Elie & I are off for Boston Thursday. Nannie writes and gives you chit-chat.
