      Dear Brother,
             I have long intended writing to you but have omitted it untill now - I attempt it. I have nothing of much importance to write. I reced your kind letter of 23rd Febr which gave us much satisfaction to learn you were well and had arrived safe. I saw Mr. McNair a day or two after I got your letter and informed him what you requested he said he was sorry he did not [start] on with you but as it is he could not come untill another year times are as they were when you left hard + tough but we are all becoming used to them and do not complain so much as we formerly did. Mother and all the family is well I was down at Brother Willis' + _______ a day or two ago and they were all well + getting on very smoothly. Mr. McKnight + family are well, -- especially Miss Nancy T. we have had a very cold dry backward spring but the weather is now warm and cotton + corn seems to grow our wheat is quite promising at present but it was injured some by its being sown too thick and four weeks drouth early in the spring. Mr. Brown the man I rented my place to has a [begin page 2] fine crop both of cotton + corn + I think I shall make something off it to help to pay for it he is quite industrious + sober I am very well pleased with Bates he is also quite study and has my crop in nice order +E. I am yet in single blessedness enjoying all its advantages. But I am courting a very admirable young lady from Irvington, Ala [just west of Mobile in Mobile County] who formerly lived in our county Miss Sarah McDowell she is staying at her Uncle James Bunchley You need not be supprised to hear of me altering my condition she attracted my attention a Sunday or two ago which half deranged me an she has not been altogether out of my mind since I must conclude Hoping this may reach you safe + find you enjoying health + prosperity     Your affectionate Brother untill death            Felix H Greene

[P. S.]_____ Mother and all the family join in love to you and would be glad to hear from you after your letter is the first + last we have heard from you
We sold our cotton crop in Macon at 7 5/8 which was the best we possibly could do with it           F. H. Greene
