Columbus. Ga. [Georgia] Oct. [October] 15 /67. 
Col. [Colonel] Wier [Wier] Boyd 
Dear Sir.
I am in receipt of your favor 11th & notice you attended promptly to my request. I prefer the entry should be on the books although I found a request here from Mr. Peck to transfer all back to the Co. [Company] as things looked so favorable. But I do not choose to do it & will hold onto what I have. There was to be a decisive meeting in Boston yesterday & no doubt matters will be arranged so that a fine mill will be erected.

Mrs. Dexter & myself are both well -- We arrived safely & have had fine weather. It is particularly favorable to cotton pickers. The crop is coming in fast & good; but there is much trouble to get the negroes to pick it fast enough -- they make excuses to get off on a frolic at the busiest time.

We are getting cheering news from the elections North; it is encouraging but comes most too late to do us much good.

Mrs. D. [Dexter] joins me in Kind regards to all our Friends, & yourself in particular.


Yours very truly 
[Signed] Amory Dexter.
