to do. I intend to try & sell Dixie

she came very near running away with me. I pricked up &
old bridle that had no curb. I am writing at the house & Rash
& Marion are making so much fuſs that I can not keep
my mind on any subject more than a second.
thare was a letter here to Mrs Willie B wich I took the privalige of opening. it
was from CousJoe I will
sende it with this note I hope that it may find you enjoying good health. I
have often though about your pains. I hope you do not suffer any
more with them. I have so much to do this week that I think it will be
imposible for me to get down before
Saturday week. The time will appear very long to me I am sure. But it will soon run round as I have
a good eal to attend to. I hope my darling will try & be hapy cheerfull &
sadisfied.
oh how often I think of a sigh that escaped you while
I was down last. I hope & pray that some day I may be able to
command any thing you desire. I will close by asking God to protect us
from all
harm I will write again & a longer letter
before I come down. I received a letter from
Bro C he is well
