My Darling Nannie:
If you will excuse a short letter this morning. I will write you a few lines. It is now six o’clock. I have just eaten breakfast. I am going to the saw mill today to get a load of lumber to build a plank fence. I thought while I was waiting for day I would write you rather than wait till tonight for I expect you will look for a letter today. I made my arrangements to write last night, but Cordie sent me word to come down to the shop so I did not get back until late, bed time. I would like to know what you are doing and how are you getting along! I think you did pay Mag and Tabbot a long visit. I wish I could have been with you. But never mind, this time next week we will be enjoying each others company.
Well pet I got through gathering corn Tuesday and the hands finished yesterday. I expect Mr. Iwin will move the last of this week, at least I hope so. I hope we will be able to go to housekeeping in a week or two. It won’t take long to fix up one room so we can move. Ma and Ella is making my carpet this week. I expect I will send by Cordie tomorrow to get me another carpet she is going to Evansville she wants me to go with her. I think it useless. I may go as far as Henderson. Have you heard from Bro Miley yet? Please let me know whether Bro Charlie will meet me at Morganfield or not. The sick folks are all getting along well. as it’s getting light and I want to get an early start to the sawmill I will close. Am sorry I had to write in such a hurry. Hope you will excuse this scribbling, though you would rather take this rather than wait till tomorrow to hear from me. Good bye pet.
From your own Oscar.
