clout(?) in Massachusetts and in a Connecticut news paper.
What miserable fools! For they should know that in
times like these, the favor of a Sultan means wealth
if one were base enough to betray his trust +
accept it.

There is much transpiring both at the Porte
and in diplomatic confidence, that I transfer in
Cipher, which would intensely interest you, but which
I cannot write. I violated instructions in sending
the few confidential papers I have sent to wife,
but it was to guard against future contingencies
personal to myself.

My wife must feel like a fish out of water --
nothing to do, but flounder around. Tell her just to go
over a little oftener, and look at farm -- tenants + colts
not to mention the remnant of my fine cattle -- it will
do her good. She has made a better farmer than
me, for she had sense enough to enlarge the farm;
but I think the breaking + grubing{?sic} should now cease,
until I go back, for she will leave me no employment.

Ask Moldridge(?) for me, and also Tipps + House to
make Finley(?) retain Lilla -- her place is not secure.
They can place it on the ground of efficiency with truth.
Remember me to your mother + Lilly(?) + all. Kiss for me
the babies. Love to Wife. Sincerely your friend
A. W. Terrell.
