Receives 'Dear Uncle' Letter	18 June 1868	Raleigh, West Virginia, United States of America	Correspondence
Receives 'Dear Uncle' Letter	Note ###"Dear Uncle" letter to Dr. J. J. Hoylman, dated June 18, 1868, sender unknown.### At the time of this letter, JJH's family would have consisted of himself, his 2nd wife, 3 children older than 12, 3 children younger than 12 and one baby to arrive later in the year. Based on the letter, this would have meant minimum travel expenses of $110.50 (without accounting for expenses from Raleigh to Charleston WV. Presumably the means of travel would have been by river to Cincinnati, then by rail to Ann Arbor. There is no reason to think that such a trip ever took place. [page 1] University of Michigan, Medical Department Ann Arbor, June 18th 1868 Dr. J. J. Hoylman. Dear Uncle. Your long looked for and welcome letter was received at last; and I hasten to reply. You know not how glad I was to hear from you and you wrote me such a good long letter. I love to write to such a correspondent as you, for I am sure to get al the news in the country. I am glad to hear of your never tiring efforts to make some money to come to the west. You wished me to tell you what it would cost you to come out here, it will cost you ten dollars from Cincinnati and seven dollars from Charleston to Cincinnati, making seventeen dollars including all expenses. You can [page 2] tell what it will cost you from Raleigh toCharleston. The children under twelve years will only cost half price – so it will cost you and family from Charleston to Ann Arbor about one hundred dollars, including all expenses and I think it cheap too for Eight hundred miles travel. As for provisions they are tolerably high. Also house rent although both are easily procured, any family can make their board by boarding students, there are about twelve hundred here all the time and there is no lack for Ladies labor all can be employed and make their living. Lycurgus can make two and three dollars a day here in the summer season just working in the gardens. And farmers give from thirty to forty dollars per month for hands. I know your family could do much better here than there. You can get any [page 3] kind of a house you may wish and where in town almost; there are quite a number to rent and sell all the time, and carpenters wages are good here all the time. I am getting two & half dollars per day, and work quite moderately only ten hours per day. I would like so much if you could come out this fall, and fix up a boarding house. I will go in with you and I know we can make money. Just sell out everything and raise all the money you can and I know you can make a start here. The man I am boarding with came here seven years ago, and was worth nothing but a wife and half a dozen children, and no carpenter either, but he commenced building little houses and selling them until no he is worth seven or eight thousand dollars, and [page 4] has raised a large family besides. I am working for him now he owns three houses and lots and will sell or rent a couple of them both are new no person been in either of them. I am just finishing one of them, which will make a good boarding house. Now I have given you all the particulars without the least exaggeration and if you think you can make anything in this county why not come at once or as soon as you can raise say three hundred dollars after selling off all your property and trading all your papers that you can get anything for. If you were here with a couple of hundred dollars to start with I will guarantee you can live easy and happy. [end]
