 Description: Irecieved your letter yesterday eavning; was truly glad to hear from my better half. Indeed I had beagan to be very ancious to hear from Rose Dale. espescially one of its ocupan ts. If it had not been so far & I was busy I would have made my apperance aroung the family circle at Rosedale. Indeed it would have given me a great deal of pleasure to embrace my dear wife. My health is very good with the ex ception of the headache today. I have been suffering with it all morning But hope it may be well by morning I have been enjoying very good health since I was down. Hope this may find you still improving & happy Recieved a letter yesterday eavning from cousin Mollie Colman directed to my Kate wich I as before took the privalige of opening. I will enclose it in this to you., Hope you will not centure me for the privileges I have taken the letter is very hard to read There may be sense in it but is hard to get out, I think our Photographs are very good. Yours I am very much pleased with. the attraction was so grate that my lips ware naturally drawn toward it. I bought very little at the sale. evry thing was old & roughſ. I got a dining table but as Ma intends to give us one I can trade the one I got for a good safe. wich we will need. I got a good coffee mill & one or two other articles. The chairs ware so indifferent that I would not bid for any. I have laid in over three hundred lbs of Pork Made some sosage & rendered out the lard ready for use. So you need not be scared I will give you plenty of meat & bread to eat if nothing more & I am sure we will never starve. In regard to mooving up. I would rather your Pa would moove us up for it would cost me eight or ten dollars to get a team to moove us up. Very likely I could get Bro. J. to moove us up. I do not know whether he is busy with his machine or note. I am glad that Sis Ann has not given up coming up with us. I will find tranportation for you & her If I do have to drive the cows, I hope the weather may remain as beautifull as it is today so that we may not be de layed by bad roads & inclement weather. Will hope for the best. Nearly dark; my head has quit aching. I took a short nap this eave something new withme Evry time I go to the land of dreams I meet with my absent Kate It will not be long untill I may realize my night dreams. I will be down Saturday if thare be no pres venting providence. Either Carriage Buggie or horse back. I will close as it is getting so dark I cannot see how to moove straight acroſs the page. Give my love to one & all, & reserve a double portion for your self If you are writing today I will recieve it before I come down. Now may bright angels protect the from all harm is the prayer of your loving husband.

 Description: Although this day is sad and dreary, yet my feelings are not in accordance with it and I am attempting a reply to your last letter. I have neglected willing longer than I intended. But since I have been so actively employ- ed in the exhilarating pleasure of having chills and other circumstances connected these with, over which I had no control I know you will heartily forgive the long long delay. I just tell you I have had a rare time with them. We are all pretty well now, except uncle's health. He is quite feeble. And I suppose you have found one with whom to share the simple joys of life. I know she is May happiness attend thee and thy companion through life is my kindest wish. I wish I could have been with you all so as to witness the occasion I know you had quite a jubilee.I am not married yet. I prefer a single life yet. I think there is a good many in the war now that would like to get out of it. A married life is not a desirable one to me. There is no real happiness in it. Time finds me at home visiting and receiving company occasionally I expect to teach next session if I can find a suitablesituation. Money is scarce here. The freedmen have done very well this year. Cotton is quite low and we have to give an exorbi- tant price for everything we get. We recieved a letter from Uncle C last week. He was complimenting you very highly and also brother J. I often wish I could be with you all. it is a consummation devoutly to be wished. In referance to me returning to Va. I can not abhor the idea of going there with a stranger, yet I don't think there would be any unpropriety in so doing. I would rather brother would come after me if all thinks it best for me to return. I know Uncle Tom is getting old and feeble, and will be with us but a little while, at the far his rest . We all will haveto rely on our own resourceHe has even been like afather to me in everyrespect. I shall ever lovehim although in a distantland. It will be a sore trialfor me to part with him anddear old Aunt. They say Ifeel as dear to them as oneof their children. Theysay they hope I will dowell through life, but itseems as if the fates areagainst me.

 Description: Your welcome let note was received and I was heartily rejoiced to hear from one whom I can call sister. I now take you on the list for a new correspondent.I hope you will continue to write Nothing gives me more real pleasure than to sit by our cheerful fireside and read an affecctionate letter from those I so dearly love. I wish I could make my appearance and be with my earliest and affectionate friends in old Virginia. I have spent many most pleasant hours with them and memory shall ever hold them as clear and sacred I hope you are agreeably domesticated at home and you now have my warmest wishes. May Brother make an indulgent husband, and ever speak kindly. May no cloud ever rise to darken your pathway. I feel very grate- ful to you for offering me a home with you and brother. No doubt it would be a pleasant home. I shall except of it if I be so fortunate as ever go back. Remember me kindly to all my relations
