My dearest Kate
As I am not able to come down I thought I would write afiew lines. My toe is getting something better. Also my health is
improving I hope in the course of another week I may be able to go about if so I
will not fail to come down for I never wanted to see my Kate as bad in my life
dear Kate you must not think hard of me for not comming
to day for when ever I moove
about my toe is very painfull I know it is not your
desire that I suffer more than I can avoid by remaining quiet your cousin John
is going to calvry
to morrow & would take me if I were able to
go. I am sorry to loose
such a good opportunity I was very sorry
to hear that your Brother was in Staunton sick with the fever. I hope he may get
home whare he will have kind parrents & sisters to wait on him I have been looking for
you nearly all week but I believe you are afraid to come to Greenville when I am
hear. Your Bro Geo. was at the Mill this morning if
I had have seen him I would have sent you a
not by him. If the gent you spoke of takes you away
next week you must write to me I hope he will lave you
whare you are for I do want to see you the wirst in the world But you must go if you can enjoy your
self for when ever I think you are happy then I am happy. Well I must colse write to me by the first opportunity Good bye
