Dear friend,
How are you tonight? I am nat well am taking a bad cold ( would take a good
one but
they are out of them). have two large fever blisters on my lips, you can guess
how I feel
and you know how I look. Did you hear of my good luck? Got a car in Cummings
to bring
me all the way. Got here by 12:30 did nat think I could stay but am liking
better today.
Think if I had all my good friends from up there where I could see them or
call them up I
would be better satisfied, I would like to see you and if it was nat that
there is so many of
A.E.S. kinfolks live here you could come. E. is working away from home wont
come in till
Saturday night. I thought you might be in Cumming as I came through but did
nat see you.
I wanted to call you up but did nat have time as there is so many you love
I guess I better
nat bother you any further. Mrs. W. never said a word about me being in your
life. I
thought she was going too one time but she did nat. I am wondering if you
feel as lonely
as I do. I dont see how I can stay here. I dont want to marry and I cant get
along without a
home so what will I do. If I had more money I could do different and know
I would nat
have to spend it in law. Have you heard anything since I left? How is all
your folks? Tell
me everything. How did you enjoy Sunday night? What did you think of my new
sis dont
you think her pretty. If I looked as good I could nat blame you far being
as you say. C.L.
left Sunday P.M. and nat Monday as he said. When you see him write me all
he says. And
if you think best we will change far I cant pay out so m much cost. and so
much worry is
going to kill me. Seems like I slept 10 or 15 m__ sun night cant you see how
bad I look?
How did your girl look that you was going to see? I guess you have seen her
befare now.
Did you go hunting last night. I have been with Tom Greyham’s wife this
evening she
helped me wash. There is lots of black ones. I must close and go to bed. Hope
you are well
and happy. write me all the news and be good till I see you if never on earth
again meet me
in heaven where troubles never come and partings are no more.
your faithful and lonely friend Abiline
