Mr. Fellows was probably asked to check on Miller's brother for him, for he comments that he passed his brother's house, and though he missed him, saw what a lovely house Miller's brother had. Mr. Fellows also notes Miller's coal land in Tennessee, which he says is in the market. He would like to obtain a precise location from Miller so that he may see it. He mentions that it is hotter up north than it was down south.
