James B. Weaver letters to Clara Vinson, 1856-1858

1858-04-27 Page 04

will you not? My little sister "Sudi" has just come after me to go to dinner. When she came in and saw me writing, she asked me whether I was writing "a business letter," or was I "writing to Clara?" I told her I was writing to you, and then she laughed, as heartily as though she knew all about such things. You must excuse ink blots, for I write in a hurry, and generally have ink on my fingers when I am writing, but I guess you can read it. Let me hear from you Friday evening, sure. 
Yours Very Respectfully 
J. B. Weaver 
P. S. Mart Hom & I are going to Burlington together, we will go in a Buggy. He is going down there to marry Miss Custer, Miss Josephene you know. I did not know it untill to day, he had said he was going down on business, I never thought of his going there to marry, but she is there at her Brother in laws. I have business in the U.S. Court, that is what is taking me there. Jim.
