Question

November 4, 1851.

Dear Brother John Honston,

When I came into Charleston day before yesterday, I learnt that

you were anxious to sell the land where you live, and move to Missouri.

I have been thinking of this ever since, and cannot but say such an idea

is quite foolish. What can you do in Missouri better than here? Is the

land any richer? Can you, there, any more than here, raise corn and

wheat without work? Will anybody there, any more than here, do your

work for you? If you intend to go to work, there is no better place than

right where you are; if you do not intend to work, you cannot get along

anywhere. Crawling about from place to place can do you no good. You

have raised no crop this year. What you really want is to sell the land,

get the money and spend it. Part with the land you have and - my life

upon it - never after will you own a spot big enough to bury you. Half of

what you will get for the land; you will spend in moving to Missouri.

And the other half you will eat, drink; wear out and no foot of land will

be brought. Now I feel it my duty to have no hand in such a piece of

foolery.

Now do not misunderstand this Setter.! do not write it in any

unkindness. I write it in order, if possible, to get you to face the truth

which truth is, you are poor and needy because you have idled away

your time. Your thousand excuses for not getting along better are all

nonsense. They deceive nobody but yourself. To go to work is the only

cure for your case.
