I should have answered them when I received them but I was so very busy and it / was so hot that a person had all thay could do to live. we are having a splendid rain and we need it very much for it is so very dry. hope it will rain all night.

            There are quite a number sick in the place now Everette has been in this evening he has to come out once a week to see the folks. "Oh Natt" I do wish you was here this evening it is so lonesome. The millers made me blot this sheet of paper they keep flying in my face and right under my pen I dont know as my letter will be very interesting for you to read I must close for I have got to write to Addie. I sent you two / papers yesterday.

 

            You wrote that thay wanted you to except the Pro. Marshalship of the city I should not excepet it if I thought I should lose a good name by the means. I should think it would be rather hard for you to.
