and no more.  So try to be reconciled and just think we couldn't even have bread to eat if God was a mind to prevent it.  So just say to your self that we are both young & able to work if god gives us the power and I believe he will do that.  Mama is getting along as well as common now she is able to be up and carry on her work again.

I want to see you so bad I can hardly stand it.  Clinton is crying so bad for some preserves I don't know what I am writting hardly.  Cawley I havent ben to town yet or to your Mama's either but its just ben so I couldn't get off.  But I'm going just as soon as I can.  Well I will close for this time & write again in a few days be sure and answer this as soon as you get it & tell me how you are.  By By with bushels of love & kisses from Wife & Baby

P.S.

Cawley if you feel like its not asking to much of you please send me just a few more dollars if you can spare it.  I wouldn't do this & I hate to do it but I had to spend a good deal of that what you sent me for medicine & Dr bill and if I get Clinton & me some every day & Sunday clothes I want have enough to get much as every thing is so high and I thought I would get a little cloth for a few pillow slips two if I could. By By Dear with bushels of Love from Wife & Baby
