Summary:
Christian is travling out west, presumably to Oklahoma, but Johann declines an offer to accompany him on the trip. He writes that he has invested in a mining company and wishes to see how this turns out, and that he will be having plate glass installed in all three of his store fronts. He hopes that Christian's travel plans may include a stop in St. Paul for a visit.
