dc.description.transcriptionWaxahachie, Texas. Aug. 28, 1978. My dear Sallie: I took dinner to-day with a sister Nash, a most excellent lady. I was so well pleased with her and her two sweet children that I am moved to write home. I have not written what is entitled to be called a letter since I came here. I have been too full of anxious thoughts about our meeting. Your poor unworthy husband has been striving most earnestly to accomplish some good. The preaching has been well attended and courteously listened to resulting thus far in as good success as could be expected. Dr. Sweatt’s wife confessed her Savior last night. The old lady Carrack nearly seventy years old will be baptized this evening. She is in bad health - was out at the spring a year ago. I took dinner yesterday with sister Rainey. She lives next door to Sister Nash. Sister Rainey’s husband is the brother of Sister Nash. Their husbands are lawyers_ neither is a Christian. We hope for Mr. Rainey. His mother lives with him, and is a devoted Christian. I have not been very well since Monday evening. Had the most severe headache Monday night that I have had for a long time; slept scarecely not one moment all night, but got a good rest next morning. I have for the first time in life suffered from toothache. Sister will want to know about the little children. There is a little girl five years old, one two years old at Doctor Sweatts_ named Julia and Edna. They are sweet and smart. The youngest is very smart and spoiled. The other is like Jessie, timid. Little Edna was talking in a great way yesterday, and I said, “You are smart enough for a scholar; I must take you home with me.” She began at once to pull at her mother and say, “take me on the back porch Mamma! Mamma, I want tilly.” When ever she wants “tilly” she makes her mamma go where nobody can see her. The sweetest children I have seen are at sisters Rainey and Nash. They have two a piece. Sister Nash has lost two. Her oldest is a little girl of five. It is too warm to write any more now. Love to all, Your devoted, Addison.
