Sir

your favor came to hand Whilst I was in Louden Va I read it on My return I would be Sorry to Know that you was afraid of Me or to Know anyone was afraid of Me I Say I would hate this very Much this is not the idea at all all that I was doing was to reSend one of the grossest insults that one Man can give another

if it had been anything else I would have paid no attention to it whatever but that was more than I could Stand, and I will assure you that I am glad from My Heart that you took it back perhaps more So than you for I would Not had anything of the Kind to happen

[page 2]
if it could have been avoided for any reasonable amount & I Say again I am glad you took it back it don't Show anything like cowardice in you to take it back in other words its shows a better principle. and I Say it is More commendable in you than if you had perSisted in it and I Shall regard it as Noble in you, instead of cowardly

yor Bro

E. J. Evans
