Dear Lib.

Once more I am seated to write a line or two to you I received your welcome letter a little over a week ago and I assure you that I was glad to hear from you once more it had ben so long since I received a letter from you that I almost thought that something was wrong I didnt know but what you had fell in love with the Deacon and forgot me. Evry time I went to the Post office I expected a letter but none came I went and read your last letter and found it was wrote the 19 of November and found it was the only letter I had received from you since we wer out thare. Well I came to the conclusion that I must quit writing two letters to your one, for the oftener I wrote the less you wrote. I would have wrote a third letter to know what was wrong / and to ask you if you had got tired writing to me, but I done it once and you scolded me and I was afraid if I did ask you that question again I would get another scolding

 

Well Libbie indeed laying all jokes aside I did think your letter was a long time coming. Libbie pleas write a little oftener as nothing does me more good than to hear from you it cheers me up and I go about my daily toil with a lighter heart and a better will. Dan was here last Sunday he came here on Saturday eve and left monday morn he was out to colect some of Davids money as I supose you are aware of. he told me that you was still at Weavers and that you was not going to sewing. I was sorry to hear this as I thought you was a going to take some rest this winter Dan said he knew that you wouldnt leave. Well I hope that he dont know that you wont leave in the spring. 

 

I received those slipers they are nice and well done Lib pleas except my most sincere thanks for them. You spok of your being inquisitive I do not think you are as you never ask me but very few questions and I shall be hapy to answer any questions that you ask that is if I can anything you wish to know about my affairs I will gladly give gladly give you all the information I can about it You have a right to know something about my intentions if you are to become my Wife. Well I spent Christmas and Newyears at home except I was at church on C we had a goos rost and some chicken Jim and his family and John and Jane were here to dinner. on Newyears we had a goose rost but no company except Dan John has ben getting the chills again Jane was well the last I hurd of her. Sam and his family are well Sam urged me to come home with him to dinner but I did not go as Dan was here. /

 

I have sold my hogs they brought me $250. I will enclose 5 dolars for you for a Newyears gift. pleas except it lib and buy something with it. Well as to postponing that little affair of ours as you call it I dont know what to say I expect to make brick next fall and want to comence the first of august and that will be rite after harvest and and will leave no time for that little affair of ours I should like to have it to come of some time betwen this and the first of July but after all I should like to have you suit your self as to the time but I think you have worked long enough for other folks and I would like to have you come and take care of a house of your own I think I can find enough for you to eat and ware I have put up some pork and I have plenty of wheat and corn and if this runs out I have lots of potatoes and I supose that potatoes will be about as cheap a grub as I could furnish you with, and I have some sheep So if you cant get nothing better to wear you can have woolen close. Oh I nearly forgot Uncle Davys expression he was bouring me a little about you and said that I would have to shake the sheats in the morning to find you, becaus you was so small. Well can you tell me some idea of the time that little affair of ours will be.

 

John Prichard gave M and H each a brest pin for a C gift. Mother has got quite well again the rest are all well and myself and I hope these will find you the same M and H send their love to you I must close.
