dc.description.transcriptionSunday night The children have just started to church, so I will write some to keep from getting lonesome. I went this morning but could not walk there again tonight. Bro. Tremish preached. It was a very good sermon this morning but he did not speak distinctly enough for me to catch at all. There are several to be babtised [sic] tonight that were converted at the Methodist meeting. Fannie Zolinger is one. J.M. Russell wrote for Bro. Gramm to come so that these persons could be babtised [sic]. I don’t see why bro. Edwards could not have done it. They have been wasting two weeks or more wanted to phone Randolph to come last Sunday but learned that he was away. Bro. Russell is minding things I think. He came over since supper to get your Babtismal [sic] suit, thought it belonged to the church. I spent the day over at the Russells last Thursday. Had a very pleasant day. Sister York and Metsell were there. I thought it strange that Bro. R. did not ask any thing about you. Bro. Cropper has called on you before this I guess he was here last Thursday was a week think he came to see if he could not get to preach for this church. They let him knowing ____ that they wanted a young man. He wanted to stay over last Sunday and he could have done this Babtising [sic]. He went on to Clarendon and stopped over Sunday I think. I say Capt. Howard this morning he said you would not answer his letter. Roy brought your letter from the Office and then we knew why you had not answered it. Sister C. and me went out after Bessie Fryday [sic]. It was a beautiful day we started about eleven oclock took a lunch and stopped on the way to eat it. We got to Bro Bradys about two. They gave us watermellons [sic] and all the cantalopes [sic] we could eat. I never tasted better ones. There was frost on Tuesday night, so they had gathered all the mellons [sic] that they could take care of. They had two dugouts full. I wish you could see the pumpkins. There was seventy five lying out in the back yard and two or three more loads in the field we brought eight great big ones and two mellons [sic] back with us in the back. We kept two. Mr. Russell wants to get two dozen they let us have them for 10 cts a piece. The Bentons came in today. Bessie went back with them. It has not been much cold yet. Two nights we had to sit in by the cook stove. It is cool of mornings but by the time we get through with the work it is pleasant. We have the stove that was in the office up in the dining room but have not made a fire in it yet. Sister Barnes was not very well pleased with the session today. She told me to tell you, you must come back. I will stop now. Goodnight Monday night - There was a norther come up about ten oclock this morning, it has been windy and dusty, all evening. It has nearly quit blowing now, not much cold there may be some frost tonight, we have kept up a fire in dining room this evening. The children have gone to church again tonight. The Grolinger boys made the Coffession [sic]last night. John said tell you all the boys were in the church now and it was your preaching that did it. I don’t expect there will be many out to night because it is cold. Tuesday- This is a bright day the wind is still in the north, but not blowing much. Z and me took a walk over on the railroad this morning. There was frost last night. I have not heard whether the officers liked the preaching well enough to employ him or not. I suppose we will know soon. I know the house look nice, since it is painted. I don’t think I would want to have any of the classes in there especial Sallie with her children, and no more to help control [sic] them. If you are going to stay there. We will have to have a home here for the hot months. But then we could never pay railroad fare back and forth. We had a letter from Carlton Sunday, he had a cold. The last time Lyman went hunting he killed twelves ducks. They brought us five and Roy had to eat most of them I don’t like duck much neither does Z. I must send this by Roy. Much love. Sallie
