Nov. 19 -91
My Darling Nannie:
You need not have been uneasy about me you know I am as tough as a pine knot, I didn’t get very cold. I got out and walked a little while and warmed myself up. I got home half past one o’clock. Prince stood the drive fine. Many thanks for the nice lunch. I enjoyed it ever so much. Mrs. Morris and little Ethel were here when I got home so Ethel and I had a nice time eating pecans. I gave Ma those apples and told her you sent them to her. She enjoyed them very much. She ate nearly a whole one today. Ma took a little cold on the change of the weather and was not quite so well yesterday but is better today. Yes Darling, Ma was glad to see me. No one knew I was near until I opened the door and walked in. You ought to have seen Ma through up her arms and say O my boy! She just took on said she was afraid Prince had run off with me or something had happened. The rest said I was laughing in my sleeve because it rained. I ran down to Grandpa’s a little while this morning. He said he has been fussing about me not coming down and telling how all were. Grandpa is very feeble he was almost lost the use of his left hand, I am so sorry to see Grandpa failing so fast it made me feel so sad to look at him this morning as he followed me out to the gate. Ida is not at all well. In getting up last night Grandpa fell over the rocking chair and Ida going to his rescue gave way in the back and fell also, so she is very much complaining this morning. I gathered come all day yesterday it was a lovely day for the business, I killed a calf this morning, and hauled Cordie coal and Pa wood this eve.
Pet I know you was very smart Tuesday. I wish I could have been there to have helped you enjoy your dinner. Sister Lula and I had a very pleasant ride that morning. I think so much of her, I love her now like a sister. I read the latter part of your letter to Ma where you spoke of her loving you. She said it was her nature to love every body, especially those that are near and dear to her. You will find she will be a mother to you. As I have filled my paper I will close, bidding you Good night and may the Angels watch over you tonight my dear is the wish of your devoted lover, Oscar
P.S. I will send Guss a ring in this letter.
