    DescriptionLetter dated January 24th from "John" in Starkville, MS to Catherine Reynolds Broach. The letter talks about the price of pork, flour, sugar, and molasses. It seems that John raises pigs because he mentions a $500 doctor bill which he will pay with 500 pounds of pork. John talks about his family which has grown quite a bit. They have three children so young that they cannot walk yet.
