Letter to his wife while in Frankfort to settle the estate of his uncle. Informs her he will be detained because the executor of the will, one "Col. Davidson" has gone to Cincinnati and will not return for at least 3 days. Plans to return home by rail and steamboat, as this will be faster than the stage.
