I am glad to see you.

How are your family ?" "Both I an' they is well, I'm thankful to you, sir," replied the farmer.
"I hope you got safe home from the metropolis.

How did you travel ?" "Troth, I walked it, sir, every inch of the way, an' a long stretch it is.

I got safe, sir, an' many thanks to you." "That was a sudden call poor Mr.Chevydale got, but not more so than might, at his time of life, have been expected; at all events I hope he was prepared for it, and indeed I have reason to think he was." "I trust in God he was, sir," replied M'Mahon; "so far as I and mine is consarned, we have raison to wish it; he didn't forget us, Mr.
Fethertonge." "No," said the other, after some pause, "he did not indeed forget you, M'Mahon." "I tuck the liberty of callin' down, sir," proceeded M'Mahon, "about the leases he spoke of, an' to know how soon we may expect to have them filled." "That is for your son Bryan and yourself.

How is Bryan proceeding with Ahadarra, by the way?
I spoke to him some time ago about his system of cropping that farm, and some other matters of the kind; I must ride up one of these days to see how he is doing.
