dc.description.transcriptionBentonville, Arkansaw [sic] July 8. 1868. Addison. Thinking you would like to hear from Sallie, I will send you a line from here perhaps it will reach you in two or three weeks. When I think of the long road we have traveled it don’t seem that a letter would ever find it way to Texas. I am not very pleasantly situated for writing, not even a book to write on. perhaps you can make out to read it, but I think it doubtful. We are getting along finely have had a very pleasant time. The weather has been very warm, though I don’t think we have suffered as much from heat traveling as we would at home. Mr. Stone is a lively old man he always has something funny to say he calls me his Indian girl, calls Ella Tom. I thought I would get to see Maggie tonight but they are 20 miles from here I fear I will not get to see them at all. We will get to Springfield on Saturday if nothing happens. I am getting impatient to get there. Our stay there will be short. Frank wants to get home by the 10th of August. I don’t recon we will hear from Texas while we are gone. this will make me more anxious to get home. I wrote to you in such a hurry before leaving that I have been sorry ever since that I sent it. I was so confused that I dont know what I did write. I wish I had time to tell you all about our trip, but I will have to wait till I get home. The candle flies and bugs trouble the candle so that I must quit. I will bring you an apple, You will come for it wont you? “Good night,” Sallie.
