Warren Cty Ky. Jan. 27th 1856

Dear Brother John,

When I wrote to you last I expected to have been there before this time
I also expected to receive a letter from you before now but in both I have
been disappointed but as I have been somewhat accustomed to
disappointments it probably does not go so hard with me as it would with
some others the extreme cold weather is the cause of my detention so I
expect to start just as soon as the river opens so that boats can run which
I hope will not be long the river is now rising and I think will probably
burst up the ice so that boats can run though the weather is turning colder
now and it may not break up for some time yet. if you have not written to
me yet be sure to write as soon as you get this and it may be that I may be
here untill your letter will get here

This leavs all in good health once more

Yours affectionately

W.C. Butler
