Buffalo 13th June 1858

Brother Nelson

Your letter of the 8th June (my birtthday) (1858 / 1814) 44 came duly to hand enclosing a copy of a litter written by Artemas to one Nelson Whiite

I inferred that he had written to you in anything but a Brotherly way, but did not suppose he had been so unkind & unchristlike
