Dear Daughter

I will try to write you a short letter this rainy morning but have no news 
that is worth writing except we are all well and Jim had got well and is 
getting fat, if Geter could see him now he would grin worse than he did at old 
Kizzie when he saw her.  I think if nothing goes wrong with him I will get him 
fat.

Mattie Cash and Dock McQuarters sure did marry the 29, so I reckon that they 
will come to see ma now as that is such folks do this day and time.

The blind man is in the Star house but I have not been to see them, and do not 
know weather I will though may.  I see him walking up and down the road two 
and three times a week, and I believe that he can see some from the way he 
walks and does.  I got a letter the other day from Modena and she says that 
she thinks that she will work Xmas week and then pay me a visit – hope that 
she won’t fool us and have us to go to meet her and then not come.  I hope 
that she has got enough of fooling folks.  She wrote me that she come to 
Fairburn and had to go back, and from the way she wrote she was sure take 
down.  I told her that she aught to do as she would be done by, she has not 
said anything more about it.  Preston is out halling pine straw to put in the 
lot to make manure for another crop, he is done gathering and about ready for 
Xmas.

We will kill a pig for Xmas, but will wait until some time in Jan to kill the 
rest.  I have been having tolerable of fresh meet since you was here as the 
neighbors has been killing.  I hope that you will be well pleased with your 
home when you are moved.  I will buy you a feather bed when I sell my other 
cotton and will send it to you when I get it ready, and will try to send your 
fruit then.  I will close by telling you that all were well when last heard 
from.

Write soon to your old mother.
