this time must be drawing had on Harris' horse debt. I been here nearly twenty six weeks. Last Sunday some visitors were here, they gave considerable news, and among the zest was that Edith Brownback - Now Mrs. Chandeleer, had parted from her husband - Becse his drunkeness and neglect of her, I don't suppose you knew anything of her. Sallie has given her little boy a real pretty name, I always did fancy Sammy as a name, did you ever notice what few rogues hear the name of Samuel - you very seldom read, Samuel W, convicted of arson, etc You will be Aunt, Aunty and Aunt Ellie, so get away, I feel sorry for myself, for after you have finished kissing each one you will have no time to spare to address me one word! Well, Sister, I must bear it the best I can but I will cry when it happen. [symbols] Now Sister if you can read thing you will do very well, do you practise any in phonography, I have no time
