Dear Nephew Charley
I received your letter should
have answered it before but
was rather cut.
If Elijah is gone I am the
only one of the old stock.
I have often wished to see my
past brother again but
I could never get consent to
come.
I am not very well nor have
been for some time. I do
not eat 4 oz. of food a day
on a average.
The facts is I think after
all my hard working I have
no one near me that think
anything of me bar strange[?]
I have made a Bush
into a home.
I have no Nephew that can
come and take charge.
No one knows anything
about Land or Sheep.
My mind is very unsettled
at present.
Whether I shall sell right
out lease it or get
a life annuity, the
only thing against the
latter I cut off those I like.
I have not written to George [Charlie’s son]
since I received your letter.
Concluded that you wrote
Before now you have heard
from your son re your
coming out, very possible
he sent you my letter.
Are you going to let me
have the girl.
When will the boy tailor[?]
know his business to
measure & cut.
I am confident at the
present time a smart fellow
at Featherston would make
a living. I have a sect[ion?]
of land there large enough
to build on.
Well Charley pray that
I may last until I go to
Wellington for your sake.
Remember us to your
wife and chicks.
Your loving uncle Lot Cross
