You know that I have written to you last, and I cannot tell how it is that you will
not answer my letter, I did not mean to offend you, but if I did will you please foregive forgive
me, I am here with friend Sharp, and a lonely time I am haveing having
of it; I have not been away from here any time till Tuesday, since I was
up to see you, then as father was so sick that he could not do anything I had to stay
home and work for
him; as he was going to kill hogs Wednesday; so I had to loose
three days right off; I was to Camden yesterday and would of stoped stopped
to [damage] until I [damage] you know that I cannot enjoy myselfe myself
any more at home, if I go up in my room I always come down feeling worse
than I do when I go up, for the first thing I see is your picture, and when I come
down in the sitting room there hangs the same, and whenever I do anything, or say
anything the picture seems to me is always looking at me; so I find that I am better
sattesfied when I am here than when I am home.
When Herbret Herbert
was down he
said you was
very well and happy. I talked to him and got out all I could, but that was
not much. I have but found a girlfriend and that is to say, she is a good and true
friend to me, we have had many good times togeather, but none that hangs with me like
those you and I have had. I received a letter from her last night, she said that she
was well, and thought of coming over soon. I suppose you know that father has had
another hemorrhage, but he is better now but he will never be able to do any more
hard work. "Ned Rogers" is coming over to
help him to day: the little Irish [damage] have got through
with the deviding dividing
of the place: they have each taken a part of it, and now it is settled. I hope that you will not keep this letter or tell
anyone what it contains, I don't want our folkes folks
to know that I have been so foolish as to write to you when you will not
answer. There is one thing that I have foregotten, it is this Mont has been going to
School at the Haddon institute for sometime
he likes it fystrait first rate
.
I will have to close my letter, as the paper is running on so adieu if I
never hear from you will think of you as an old friend that is dead and gon.
