I send ninety dollars and George sends fifty which will make one hundred and forty dollars me and Gorge has sent. After a Henry rifle. We git the gun and every thing that belongs to it for thirty three dollars a piece. I will start this letter and check together. Well I will close for this time. Write in haist. Mikel Culler to Father and Mother Write in haist. End quote. Following is the note from John Sherrick to Jacob Culler, regarding the thousand dollar check which he carried for Michael to be delivered to his parents. Quote: Mr. Culler you can get the money on the enclosed check in Quincy. You had better go to Quincy yourself along with someone that is acquainted there. Almost any merchant will take it, and probably pay a premium, or you can dispose of it at any bank. John W. Sherrick End quote. Sally
