get use to staying by ourselves. You said you wanted the rest of us to go on and have Mothers
funeral preachen I dont know what to do about it I think we had better get Mr Sheets to find out
when Ambros Weever could be with him and just (a__?vint) it, to suit their convenience it will
be all right with me any way you all fix it. I told Hansford he could see about it as well as any of
us. Ida was down to see us this evening she is very well we are as well as usual. let the children
come up some time this summer.

the reality is we are parted from each other perhaps never to meet again when all maters is
(____??) in the silent shades of the night tis then (____??) form appears to me and we mingle
again in eachothers society. But its only a pleasant nights dream I had hoped that (____??) this
time you would have been a resident of (____??) but have as yet been disappointed I am inclined
to think after all an old Bacholar is (___??) in a hand (cost____??) the Drunkards big meeting
comes off the third Saturday and Sunday in September come down then and let us see what we
can do with him if he fails you shall have another beau I am fixing to go to Franklin in a few
days to see my Aunt I expect to be gone about three weeks the boys say I am going to catch a
beau but I am not my beau is gone to Texas if he lives to get back I expect to be off he is called
pretty by even (____??) he has black eyes and you know I am a great lover of black eyes But
enough of my nonsence tell (____??) (___??) I wish to know what surprising news I was to hear
from Grayson that Judy has come and gone and I havent heard any news from them save Sally
has another girl and that dident suprise me in the least I do not like to always be kept in suspense
(____??) I want you and (___??) and Fannie (_____??) to be shure and come down in September
and as many more as wish too do come you will please excuse this badly written letter we are
fixing to thrash with the machine to day and expect company besides so I have writen in haste
