We go a bout half way down the mountain. We have a very good place to stay when it don't rain. It rains all most every day or did last week. Well tomorrow is the fourth of July and where was we one year a go tho today and what have we endured since that time. I can look back and see where we have been since that time, but can't look a head or know what is a going to happen the next hour. I know very well where I was two years a go this evening. I went and got a buggy to go to Smyrna with the next day. That is the time some of the folks had such a time with their bonnet. You know who it was I suppose. I don't think they will trouble them a great deal tomorrow. I think next fourth we will all be at home. (continued on page 3) Additional Comments: From my 3rd gruncle John S.
