September 4, 1879 J.T. Brown to Cousin Cassie Tucker, Glencoe, WV, Hunting here is not as good as I expected; we have no good dog. Your shooting when Willie took you out was exceedingly good. Hamilton Barksdale and other of my friends will be at the university this fall. He and I are going deer hunting. September 4, 1879 J.T. Brown to Mother, Fanny C. Brown, Glencoe, WV, All here were pleased by your letter. Uncle wanted Hamilton to start school in Baltimore but his Mother would not let him. September 9, 1879 [Chia?] to F.C.

Brown Petersburg, Va. Home after the trip to Bedford. Thanks for many kindnesses. Pa does not want me to go to the university this winter but to go to Mr. McCabe's for special studies to 'rub up some before going on.'
