My Darling Nannie:
I received your dear letter this eve was so glad to hear from you also to hear that Lula was better, hope she will soon be able to resume school. I think it real sweet in her to say “Bro” and hope she will continue it. Dear it was to bad to deceive the people so wasn’t it? I am so surprised at Mag and Tabbot not hearing we had postponed it. Tell them we will let them know in due time. Yes pet we will go to see them soon after we are married. I am very anxious to see them as well as the rest of the folks down there. I don’t guess anything will prevent me from coming Sat. – so two days from tonight I will be talking to you, won’t that be nice? Ma is much better the dr. dismissed her the day before yesterday. She is very weak yet, but she is taking solid nourishment now and I hope she will soon regain her strength. I am so glad Darling Jim and Mat went over Sunday night to see you. Wish I could have been there to have made the “circle complete” know I would have enjoyed both crowd and refreshments. I am so glad you gathered us some pecans. I am very fond of them.
I have some walnuts and popcorn laid up for winters use. Do you like them? Well pet I have been breaking ground today. I had a little piece that got too hard to break when I was breaking the other, so I left it out and since the rains I have decided to break it and sow it in wheat. It is so rough a piece that has not been cultivated for years. I broke two plow points on it today. I wasn’t to get it sowed tomorrow if it don’t rain tonight. I have plenty of stock water now.
Yes indeed I thought of the 10th the whole day. I helped Mr. Iwin strip tobacco that day and yesterday till noon little did we think a month ago I would be stripping tobacco the 10th. Good many were disappointed p here by me not getting married 10th. As I came home tonight I came by Mr. Ball’s to see Edd a minute and while I was talking to him Miss Sadie spied me and came out, said she heard I was going to marry the 10th, and here it the 10th is gone and you are not married yet. Said now she heard I was going to marry 16th. I told her when the 16th had passed someone would say the 20th. As its getting late I will close and tell you the rest when I come Saturday. Good bye my darling. Take good care of yourself.
With much love and many k-, I remain ever yours, Oscar
