Case explains that he has taken a new position, managing a grocery for Mr. James Sutton in Fayetteville, and that he now boards at the Fayette Ville Hotel and has moved away from Oakland. He disparages Oakland, describing the stores there as "being the most doggish, dirty holes you ever had any conception of, drunken Indians laying all about... there has been three men killed within the last two weeks within a compass of ten miles...." He continues, "where I am now there is great difference, the people being generally very civil and orderly, some very fine and have been well raised, and all uncommonly friendly."
