dc.description.transcriptionThorp Spring, Texas. Aug. 7, 1879. My dear Addison, Your precious letter of 2 came yesterday evening also one for Father. We were getting very impatient it seemed so long since we heard from you. Sister looks for her letter every day. We wrote the second time to Marion did you get it? We are all well except boils I have had four on my face the past week, have two more coming, one on my lip. Addie has one under his left eye. I am so glad you are having such good meetings think they ought to give you better things to eat, you would not get things very well prepared at home now unless I were to go to the kitchen. I expect I have spoilt you, everybody don’t know just how you like things fixed up as I do. I got some peaches, and roasting ears yesterday, the first we have had. It was wash day and I cooked dinner, wish you had been here. I had a nice tender steak, cut the corn off and cooked it, just as you like it, made such a nice cobler [sic] of the peaches, after I got it nearly ready I sent down for cousin Claire and children to come and eat with us, they seemed to enjoy the dinner muchly. There is nothing done to the well yet. The men are getting along first rate with the house, will commence putting the roof on tomorrow. I shall not tell you how nice it will be or anything about it, you must wait and see, the hole end of the kitchen is open and it is still on the wheels but we make out very well cooking though it is very unhandy. Randolph and family started on their trip last night he could not bear to be away from them, came home after them. It is a great pity such persons have to be away from home isn’t it? The Dr. Is going to start off day after tomorrow, I don’t know where he is going. It looks a little suspicious going alone in a buggy he told me he was going to find you and bring you by home to rest awhile. Bob thinks he is going to Pilot Point. I wish you could meet with him and come home. Randolph don’t think you will go Ennis. I wish I knew, I wont know whether to send a letter there or not. There was a nice pair of gloves in the mail for you last Sunday. Who do you reckon sent them? I have not commenced getting ready for boarders yet, they say we must take all boys or all girls, wont do to mix them. Randolph has rented his boarding house to Bro. John Rawlins, so many are expecting to take boarders there wont be many left for us. They can take about twelve girls at Mothers. Mrs. Walker that lives in the Stewart house is fixing for twelve either boys or girls, says you told her she could get twelve girls, much love from all. Sallie.
