     Dear Brother I take my pen in hand to rite you a few lines to inform you that I have been to the State of Kentucky to see about the land that Father had a claim to by a warrant which land is entirely lost by the works not been forwarded in due time for a patton (patent). It is now devoid the Statute of Limitations. The warrant was laid in by Connerkouick Creek the very lowest land in the State of Kentucky not worth paying taxes for. I got home a few days ago and found my family well. Hoping this will find you and your family also well. I have nothing of importance to rite to you at this time. I am very anxious to hear from you to hear how cousin Malvina is and how you are all a doing and whether you have give out the notion of moving and what is the times in Virginia. We have a very forward Spring planting bas kecb for a good this year. You will please to excuse my short letter. The next shall be more fuller. My best respects to you and family.

Abs Gleaves to James T. Gleaves Esq.
