silks, are in his store, suitable; if not, and there are any suitable in any of the other stores, if you can advance the money or procure a Credit until you come over at the Buncombe Superior Court, you shall not fail in getting the money to come back with you. I would have sent more money by Dillard but having bought Reuben McFarland's stock of cattle, and having to advance the money of the first day of August, puts it out of my power to send more at this time. But as soon as I can get down to the Warm Springs(N.C.), I have not doubt, of getting as much as will answer that purpose, as Mr. Casney, who is son-in-law to Mr. Wilson is owing me $100.
I want you to attend to what I have written respecting Samuel. I shall merely write to him without mentioning any thing of the report of his having enlisted, lest he might conjecture I was lax in my duty.
I would write to Genl. Taylor, but I have heard nothing of his return I shall endeavor to be over to see him about the last of August, if possible. I have business that I must attend to about the mouth of Cany River, and from that place I will try and get over.
The family in a reasonable state of health. I cannot say that I am myself in as good a state as I could wish to be, yet my health is reasonable. I am much addicted to pain & weakness in my back & hips, and as age crawls on me, I find they increase.
Farewell & God Bless you all,
Ro. Love,
# Remember me in a particular manner to Anna.

Waynesville, May 3rd, 1814.
My Dear Brother:
It is with a sensation of gratitude that I have the happiness of informing you that we are all in a reasonable state of health at present, thanks be to the Kind Providence for conferring on us such a Blessing. I understand from Father's letter, which he received from you a few days ago, that you were indisposed, supposed by the consumption. This, I think, you have brought on by too much studiousness hard reading and so much sitting creates stupidity, heaviness and dullness of mind; to redress this complaint, it would be necessary to relax in your study. This, I think, would have a tendency to restore you to your health again; if not, you will inevitably impair your health to such a degree that you will never restore it to its proper station again.
My dear brother, this is the 2nd, letter I have wrote to you, and have not received the first answer. I want you to communicate with me on all occasions, as I am always anxious to hear from you and your family, and all friends in that part of the country. Nothing more at present, but remain,
Your loving brother until Death,
John B. Love,
To-Thomas D. Love,
N.B.
I wish you would give me a complete statement of what our taxable property was estimated to. Give my compliments to sister and Genl. Taler's(Taylor's) family, and brother Samuel's family, likewise.
