Letter

To: Isaac Mitchell Pool III (while visiting Duluth, GA)

From: Cora Lee Rogers (Desoto, Georgia)

Oct 7, 188?

Mer I M Pool (Isaac Mitchell Pool)

Dear Cousin

     It is within gratis of pleasure that I write you a short letter this 
morning to inform you that I reached home last night at seven o'clock.  All ok 
though sorry to say I found Nick (William Nicholas Rogers - Cora's brother) 
right sick.  He is some better this morning.

     I had quite a nice time after I left Atlanta with a batchler (bachelor) 
and so the time did not seem as long to me.  I laid over one five at 
Kingston.  I have no news to advise you this time. They are all so ill in 
Chattooga.  The last account I saw a friend of mine from there this ___ but 
did not talk to him any, as I was on the street they live.  Just had a perfect 
flood in Chattooga.  Washed the Summerville Bridge away and part of the ____ 
Bridge.  Crops were all just ruined.  Just all floated off it was such a pitty 
as crops were so very good there on the river this year.

     Please tell Willie (William Newton Pool) and Jack (Alonzo Jackson Pool) 
not to get mad with me for I forgot to tell him good buy when I started and 
besides I did not ask Aunt Martha (Martha Strickland Pool - Cora's mother, 
Mary Jane Strickland's sister) to come to see us but as she must not get mad 
with us for I was so troubled about coming off leaving Betti (Mary Elizabeth 
Rogers - Cora's sister) sick.  Well as I have such a bad fuss to write with 
and will close by asking you to write soon and a long letter.  Give my love to 
all and keep "Poolion" for yourself.

As ever,
Your Loving Cousin Cora

P.S. I forgot to tell you that I went to town this mornign and have a place to 
stay.  I will go to work to___.
CLR (Cora Lee Rogers)
