Correspondence between Ellen Mowrer Miller and Albert, 1875-1875 and 1903

31858055132991_013-04

up at ilwyne Huns last week. I
remember well for I was out a
swilling the swine had some corn in
the bucket for the chickens did not
think of the Perryites so they met one 
on the road. I did not look very closely
but don't think I knew any of them.
later I had a apron full of corn for the
calves & I was calling them when lo &
behold some more Perryites from the 
North.  Courtney & others but I was to
the house before they came by. I don't
like to many of the ites at one time
I done should see Miss Lazzie for she will
be for starting this week I think for grennel
to teach school. Hope you and Mrs Mary
do not keep such late hours still, you
will be a sleep waker if you don't take more
sleep. I don't get up so early now & this
summer will have too though when we get
at the corn in full power. hope you
are having the best of times dont pound
your fingers. William hand is getting better.
