Clara Vinson Weaver's letters to husband James B. Weaver, 1862-1864

1862-05-18 Page 06

has run out & I would rather have the Hawk Eye but will wait until I hear from you.  To morrow morning I commence studying.  Are you glad?  I know you are & so am I.  Dr Bill is going to make me some bitters to strengthen me I feel so feeble of mornings after nursing Jimmie all night, & by getting up early I think I will feel better. My health is perfectly good it is only feebleness from warm weather & nursing such a big fat boy.  Now dont you borrow trouble for I am in excellent health except what I have told you.  I feed him & he eats like a child two years old but still he is too young to wean.  We just got a letter from George.  Joseph is still, confined to his bed part of the time, so he & "Mother Weaver" can not come up this summer.  If you are away next winter I guess I will visit them,  
How I do wish they could see Jimmie
