but did not so I thought I would write (some) & tell you that I am quite
well this evening & dear brother for what else can I term you now as you
wish to be free & let me beg you to try & be happy I am very
very happy this evening I feel that God has blessed me this day yes dear Willie
I have wept for joy & I can say with a thankful heart thy will be done
Oh my dear Father not mine though doest all things well but dear one are you
happy yes you are free are you as happy as when you were bound to your fond K or
has the first of this letter caused a sad thought to enter thy borow say dear one are you happy or would you ask her who is pening this to come to thy bosom again or what is the
cause of thy unhappiness Oh my dear one true happiness is not found in this
world now dont get angry with me & I will tell
you what my belief is; I beleave that you love me as
fondly as you ever did but you do not enjoy religion as you once did & you are not happy if you
have tryed to study up what was the cause will I have
desided I have changed I know you think so but
not that true heart as it once was & what does it say if I would scorn
you what would you do. Now Willie let me beg you once more to come to see me as
a friend an enimy as a lover a brother or anything you
wish I will be happy yes do anything that you ask me & it is in my power but I beg you to come as soon as you
get this if you do not get it before Saturday come to show people that I am not
to blame & that we are friends we are expecting a nice time at the
mountain the 7 of next month come & lets join our
party & lets be friends now dont my heart will
not deny no pitty if nothing else will bring you I will
receive you as my friend but I must close now may the rich blessings of our
heavenly Father rest upon you try & be happy, we know not what blessings
are in store for us but come dear one do come | | | Similar Items: | Find |
