Letter from Enos B. Moore to William with description of recent trips and the money made. He described a trip with a moderate number of passengers that lost almost a full night due to fog. He made a trip that amounted to about sixty-eight hundred dollars but described being sued by the steamboat Lucy Robinson for $867.00 in addition to a bill he was given of $550.00. They decided they would fight it. He had not heard any news from New Orleans as he continued to carry freight between Cairo and Cincinnati. Moore said he believed the steamboats had seen their best days, at least until they could be revolutionized. He made plans for a pleasure trip to New Orleans when he could hear back from family.
