Dearest Dorcas.
I will this Sabbath Eve try to ans your Kind and wel come letter that I received a short while a go and loh! I was so glad to hear from you once a gain. It made me feel as though olden times was renewed. Now I have had lots of company to day and Ma and Mag was gon so I had it all to my self. But no Jentlemen in the croud. Ma went up to Taries last eve and had not come yet I look for her Just any time. You said in your letter you was wondering where I was spending my Sabbath. I was at preaching twice that day and when night come I was tirder than If I had done a big days washing and you can imagion how tird I was. Today I had laid of to go to heardy (Hardy) to a Big Meeting But it was put off un til Next Sunday. So I did not go But hope to go next Sunday. They have Just plenty of Churches down there. And I hope lots of good People. Now there is no news to write a bout. Only I heard your Darling Harvey was coming home this fall. I know you will be glad to see him or I know I would. Oh! Just this minute I got the News one of our Preachers is dead was Buried to day. It surely is a sad thing to witness Death. But it seems a sure thing and we must bear it all for it is gods will. There is some sick folks below us here there was three doctors down last Monday. But they say the sick is some better. Now Dorcas you asked me If I thought I could come over and we would go to the Valley to take our long talked of visit. I surely think if my life and health is spaired I will try My very ut most to come un less sick ness should take place in our family. And I hope we cold have a nice time. I be lieve we can. And you had planed off how far we would go each day we can take that same plan. And I guess we will go by our selves I think we can Just as well as not unless you have some portiular company if so it will all be right with me. We will go horse back un less you will not that is if we go and I will try. Now I will close as it is time to Milk. But I have not mutch milking to do only three Cows. Now I will look for a letter soon and I hope I will get it write soon
Your Loving Friend
