Dear Father: Carter, (County, Tennessee) Sept 11th, 1815.
        I received your letter of the 15th of August by the hand of brother Dillard. The iron for your wagon, Mess. Taylor, says shall be brought down from the works by the next wagon that goes up, which will be within two or three weeks. Mr. Youngs says that it will take nine hundred weight to do it well. I think the prospect of getting any iron from brother Samuel is very uncertain to replace it to Genl. Taylor, as I am told by Emma and Viny that he owes them now, and cannot get any iron of them. I know not what to do on the occasion, unless I promise the money, for as nothing will command iron but money, although Mrs. Taylor will take the iron again, if brother Samuel will get it within a reasonable time, for an accommodation to you. You may calculate that I will do my best to have your wagon ironed as soon as possible, let the iron come as it may, as you need it and must have it. You also wished me to let you know by brother Dillard when you might send for your wagon. I believe it will be out of my power to let you know entirely at this time, but, perhaps, I can let you know it by Mother when she comes over. I think if you were to give me an order (on) John Love (?) for the salt-peter that he owes you, it would be in my power to get it this Fall as he has purchased a wagon of it, which be brought to some time this Fall or Winter.-
                                                Yours, etc.
                                                        Thomas D. Love,

To Col. A.M.C. Taylor: Recently married to Amanda Hamilton,

                        "O cherish her dearly
                                And love her sincerely
                        Be faithful, indulgent and kind:
                                Make not a slight failing
                                A pretext for railing,
                        If such you should happen to find.

                                Oh do not misuse her,
                                And never refuse her,
                        When proper her wishes may be;
                                And thy cost, care and trouble,
                                She'll recompense double,
                        By the kindness she'll lavish on thee."
                                                --Calliopean.
To Mr. Taylor
and Mrs. Taylor.

Note: The above was found among some old papers and was addressed to the above, who was a son of James Patton Taylor, who was a son of Genl. Nathaniel Taylor. A.M.C. Taylor was a very dissipated man, and died leaving no heirs. He was a very bright man, and prominent in politics during his day-F.D. Love,
