Résumé of recent correspondence with Father on subject. Mother thinks Father not be hurt if James took a Farm in this county. Father writes James and he better separated. Please consult with Mother again. Listen for Father's requests for help but do not give advice or solicitation. When disagree in opinion do not say anything. Leave things to natural course as much as possible. Passing of Corn Bill has pushed up rents and farmers keep land which they meant to give up. Difficult to get farm here.
