 Description: I have just returned from my friend Rachel's & thought I would write you a short note my health is very good better than usual I think & I am trying to be very cheerful though I get the blues very bad some times. Pa has at last consented for to have some waters & get married at home so I have chosen six girls though I expected to have 7 but I want the privlege of inviting one gent as water & will give you the same privlege you can invite a lady to wait as I have but (on) six chosen but wish to know immediately what lady you wish. I have my two sises R.C.E. Shuey, Kate Shields & cousin Josie of course I will expect you to have Mr. Linzy as a water to make the 6th I do not know how to spell the name; Oh how I wish you were here that we could make the arangement you are so slow a bout writing I think you are so careless a bout writing Willie dear will you always be so it has a bad tendency now you can not imagin my feelings when I think a bout it but then I think it will not be long that I will be from you & that you will strive to make me happy. Alas how long long did I await to hear these words the other night Kate I am striving to live a better life to become a good Christian my dear one are you trying to do this Oh I do hope you are you cannot imagine the joy those few words would create within in my bosom I think the tryals that I have dayly would be nothing if I but knew that all that you can do is being done; if I allow myself to think for one moment that you are not doing that I almost shrink from the situation or position I have taken but I feel that you are trying for I know you will not have me brake that no I know you want to make me happy & that will make us both happy dearest remember me in your dayly prayrs but enough.
