“ Jim complained of him leaving a farm he was on, but it would be well for Jim to remember himself, that he too got tired of a farming life and was very glad to sell out & get some thing easier & more certain. I am surprised at his fathers action & might yet be a great sourse of trouble to him.
To turn a boy of nineteen out loose in Perth, is not good policy & may throw him among undesirables & sixpenny pool rooms etc. ”
