the shuttles business pay. For instance he has made and shipped since 14" of Jan. about $160.00 worth of shuttles and the company pays him $100.00 pr. month making his salary up to April 14" $300.00 a difference of $140.00. But of course there has been some disadvantages as it was some little time after he came before the mill started up - and have had some delay in getting spindles made. I will write you again as soon as I hear from you and learn where a letter will reach you. You mentioned in your letter to Nannie that you wrote me your address from London or Parris (Correction: Paris). I have had no letter from either of those places. Durham is quiet about as when you left. Let me hear from you as often as possible and I will answer you promptly whether the letters reach you or not. Hoping you a safe and prosperous trip.

I am yours &c.

Thos. D. Wright
