Subject: Looking for someone to "read" an 1829 letter

I am looking for someone familiar with old handwriting that would be willing to read a letter for me. The letter writer (my 4x great grandfather, John Finley) is giving my 3x great grandfather, John Finley, directions to his home. I would like to pinpoint where this is but I can't make out all the words. It could be Indiana, Kentucky, or ???? I recognize Tippicanoe, Princeton, Monroe, Kirkesville. It was written in April 1829.
Thanks, Caren Carlson
