Dear Richard -

Your valued favor of 27" from Philad. recieved (Correction: received)and noted. The frost has done but little if any damage to crop of tobacco in this state. In some localities where the lands were low some little damage was done. It is all a farce about the crop being ruined the bulk of crop has all been cured. I notice in some sections of (???), say Campbel (Correction: Campbell) county, sustained considerable damage. But that was principally late sown (???) tobacco I don't think it will affect the price of tob. It may have tindency (Correction: tendency) to hold present prices firm. The impression of every body is, that this is the best crop raised since the war especially in color. The Green land will be sold the 17" of Oct. and adjoins your Graded School property if I have not been misinformed Real estate
