John A. F. Martin, Richmond City, to Louisa Martin, 1854 January 11

Intend to write Wednesdays and Saturdays. Some bills dealing with internal improvements have made it to 2nd reading. Have mailed 2 Lady's Books but did not examine them 1st. Ole Bull is in city and producing excitement with his musical talent. Saw 2 English Bealewell sheep on exhibit with wool 36" long and shears in rolls ready for spinning.
