My dearest Cousin
I received your
highly appreciated letter, and will
indeavour to answer it, it makes me
feel both glad and sorry to get
your letters, when I receive a letter
it makes me want to see the dear
boy worse, I am sorry to say I cant
go up to see you all christmas, Mother
says I cant go, and you know what she
says must be so, I dream the other
night you and Fannie were here, I
thought Cousin Fanny was dressed
terable fine, that is a good dream
for her. Cousin Joe I had the
toothache to kill last night, are you
sorry for me? James give me some
pain killing to kill it but it did
not do it, he was sorry for me.
Now aint this interesting.
