Poor Jr. Alleet is sinking daily. the poor Jr. is lonesome to think he will not meet you and other kind friends any more. Oh! how he used to speak of you. Daily. It's very sad. I was at Santa Barbara to see him few days ago and took the two letters you enclosed with Martin I think he was to send you afore well letter. I got him to send one to his dear Motter & Sister.
