My Darling Nannie:
I suppose this will be the last Sunday night I will write to you for some time. I am truly glad my writing days are over, for I never did enjoy writing, especially love letters.
Well darling I attended Sunday school and church this morning as usual. I also attended the funeral services of Mrs. Tumer’s little child this afternoon at 1 p.m. I then went to Grandpa’s and spent the rest of the evening. Grandpa doesn’t seem to be much better. He can’t walk without assistance. I am sorry to see him failing so fast. He says he would like very much to attend our wedding and would if he could possibly get there. He said he dreamed about you last night. Ida didn’t say for certain whether she was going or not. Mr. Hambert King and wife came soon after I got there so I did not have a private talk with her. I have not heard of any one else coming except Cordie and Nannie. I don’t think there will be anyone else there from Corydon. But I have good news for you this time. Mr. Inin (Iwin?) has gone at last he moved Friday and yesterday. I selected paper last night and the hanger will begin work in the morning. So I think by this time next week we will be enjoying each other’s company around our own fireside. Then we will realize for the first time what happiness is. I am so glad we can to go to housekeeping so soon. So we will be fixed up by Christmas so Miss Lula (?) can come to see us. I invited Walter up to call on her this evening. Tom Warfield, the young man I gave her for a sweetheart is very anxious to see her. Well from the way the wind is blowing it will be cold by morning. If it is not too disagreeable I want to go to Morganfield horseback or in the buggy as I want to see a man on the road this side of Waverly, so I can make one trip do both. I guess I will find Bro. Charlie there somewhere. Yes I think it real nice in Bro. Charlie and Sister Annie in giving us a supper and take it as quite a compliment as they did not give any of the rest of the girls a supper. Let us be on time that night so we will not miss the train. I will stop at Aunt Olivia’s. Have your trunk packed and ready. If you have a way it would be best to send your trunk up to Sturgis Tuesday eve. As it is about bedtime I will close. Hoping all things will work well for us Tuesday. So good night. May God bless you.
From your intended, Oscar
