Bachelor’s Retreat December 15th/65 My Kind Friend, I am not in the habit of making apol- ogies, but I think an apology is due you now. Your letter would have been answered long ago, but I have been so busy, I scarcely get a moment of spare time to devote to pleas ure. I visit very little in the neighborhood, and hardly ever get time to go home. This is Friday night, and I feel a little like I am free until Monday but I will have to study to-morrow, and to-mor row night. It seems to me that Mr Hoover has given us task enough for a week. I generally study at night until 12 or 1,

and then rise in the morning by day-light, and study until school-hours. I have become interested in my studies, and care little about anything besides. I hardly ever speak to a lady except Miss Jennie, unless it is at church. We recite a lesson together every evening/ Mr Calhoon is in love with Miss Jennie, and I believe the feeling to be mutual. I have no news to communi cate that would interest you. I saw John this evening, he said they were all well. I have not been at home for more than a week. I expect to be at a wedding in Bridgewater next Thursday, if nothing occurs to prevent me grom going. Mr Stover told me this morning that he intend

ed giving us a week at Christmas It is likely that I will spend the greater part of it at home stud- ying, it will be an excellent opportunity for me to review. I dont expect to get any time for visiting until the close of this session. Mr Hoover came in my room a few minutes ago and told me has was glad to find me so busy with my books, he didn’t know that I was writing a letter. He says I ought to think of noth- ing else in the world except my studies. I want to enter College next session if I can, and I know it will require hard study for me to succeed I think I shall lay pleasure aside for a few years entirely. I am depriving myself of a great deal of pleasure by going

Sabbath night Feb 19th 1865 I sealed this letter, and took it to the office to mail yesterday, but I was so busy sleighriding I forgot it entirely. I am sorry I neglected writing so long. I expect to start away with the 14th next Wednesday, and will not get backc until Saturday or Sunday. They want to take a wagon with them part of the way, and I promised to go with them to bring the wagon back. John Brownlee

Hanger &ldquo; &ldquo; 3rd &ldquo; Our uniforms were scarlet caps, and jackets with white collar, grey pants, and boots with spurs. We met in Churchville once each month for practice a few hrs drill In April 1861, we were ordered to report at Staunton for duty, but this order was given by someone who had no authority, so we were sent back home with instructions to drill every day while waiting for further orders. Sometimes, the latter part of April, we had orders to report for duty &ndash; this time, from the proper authorities. We were kept in Staunton several days when we were ordered to leave &ndash; our destination

We were joined at Monterey by a large Co. of Highland Infantry, and were overtaken by the Bath Cavalry which came to Staunton just after we left. Later on, the Greenbrier, Rockbridge, and Charlotte Cavalry Co&rsquo;s. followed us, and joined us somewhere in Western Va. We camped at Grafton for a week or two and finding that troops were coming into Va. from Ohio, we had to fall back, as we had neither arms nor ammunition suitable to fight with. We continued to fall back, from time to time till we feel[?] back to Philippi in Barbour Co. where Col. Kelley of an Ohio Reg&rsquo;t. was killed, and Dangerfield, of Bath Cavalry lost a leg. After this, we fell back to Beverly, for several weeks &ndash; we were then ordered to occupy Rich Mt. about five miles from Beverly. About this time Confederate topps in large nos., under Col. Pegram[?], came to western

Wilson (a first cousin of mine) and John [?] both of whom were members of the Churchville Cavalry, were killed &ndash; the first casualties in our Co. during the war. After this battle, sometime during this sum- mer, the battles of Greenbrier River, and Allegheny Mt. were fought, both of which I participated in. Nothing else of interest occurred during this year of which I was a member of Churchville Cavalry. Early in the spring of &rsquo;62 I joined McClannahan&rsquo;s Battery, which was attached to [?] Brigade of Cavalry &ndash; (ours being the only battery in this brigade) which was camped near New Providence Church at this time. I remained with said battery &lsquo;till Gen Lee&rsquo;s surrender, during which time I participated in most of the battles which were fought

And numerous other minor engagements, but the last battle our battery took part in, was the battle of Fisher&rsquo;s Hill where we lost our last gun, I firing the last shot of our battery. This battle was fought the latter part of the summer of &rsquo;64. In March &rsquo;65 we were camped in Albemarle Co., at North Garden, and rec&rsquo;d orders, April 8th; to report to Gen ----, at Petersburg, at the earliest moment. He started, at once, spending that night at Amherst C. H. Next morning, April 9th, we moved again, but before reaching Lynchburg we heard of Gen. Lee&rsquo;s surrender that morning. Our Battery came back to The Valley and was disbanded. I was quite fortunate in never having been

Wednesday morning Dear Brother Frank I would have written yesterday but had no oppor tunity to mail it. Annie has been worse since you left, has had very high fevers part of the time and suffered a great deal; is better today than when you left; freer from pain, has not sat up any at all yet. Babe is not well today is fitful. Annie feels anxious about Frank&rsquo;s welfare. We sent for the Dr Monday + he has been here once since went to Staunton yesterday + did not get here, will come today I guess. He said Annie did not have fever &ndash; was more threatened with milk leg, but her symptoms are all better today. Nothing more of particular interest. Great haste your affectionate Sister Annie sends best love to you + all. All join in much love Becca

I feel quite sure you cannot read half that I have written on the other sheet. We will move in a few minutes, and I thought I would read over what I had written, but I had to guess at part of it myself, for it was written in a great hurry. I will get white paper the next I write and perhaps then you can read the great- er part of it. I am obliged to you for your offer to send me paper but I can get what I need very easily. If I cannot get it in any other way I will accept of your offer. I have time to write nothing more at present. I will write soon again if I have an opportunity. Devotedly yours Frank

<p>Fruit Grove July 5th 1868 My Dear Husband I looked for you some yesterday evening, and knew if you came that you would not possibly have time to receive a letter from me after yours came to hand, and besides I have had no opportunity to send a letter. Your letter did not come until last Wednesday evening. I was getting very uneasy before it came and when I found how soon you had written, I knew it was not your fault. I am sorry you felt so badly when you got home. Essies Mother has left Mr Smiths and gone to Mr Helch&rsquo;s near Fairfield, so you see Essie</p><br /><p>(cont&rsquo;d from page 4) Dont be uneasy I take carae of myself well and be well as soon as possible I hope you are well All join in love. ginnie was looking for you and I tonight She baked a big cake for us Dr + Mrs Thompson will be there tonight.

Essie cannot get to see her easily In regard to bringing another horse for her when you come I think it unnecessary trouble, as she can go down so easily in the wagon, and it will not be much longer, and she will not be a great deal of service in cleaning up. Becca says she will go down in the wagon with you if you come up for a load, as teh big wagon will not hold all. Pa will come after her if she goes. I have not been very well since Friday morning I was going in the kitchen with a bucket of cherries in one hand and a bucket of water in the other and tripped and fell + jarred myself so badly that I was strongly threatened with a miscarriage, in fact it had commenced but I got it

Locust Glen Thursday night July 2nd/68 My Dear Wife I feel too tired to-night to do anything except what I have undertaken, write to my darling wife. This has certainly been a busy week with us, or with me rather. I have been working about the house, putting up hay +c. I went to Churchville Monday expecting to get a letter from you, but was disappointed, but I rec&rsquo;d one yesterday, and you dont know the good it does me to [?] a letter from you, when I can&rsquo;t see you. I find from your letter that you had not rec&rsquo;d mine when you wrote, and consequently I dont know what arrangements to make. about going up. Well, we expect to house to be entirely finished by the last of next week, but it is likely that Father will move some of their things about the middle of next week, as we expect to have three rooms finished the last of this week. I expect to come for you some time next week, but don&rsquo;t know at all what time in the week, and possibly not until week after next, as we are just crowded with work. I have felt right badly several days since I came down, especially yesterday + to-day, as the weather has been entirely too warm for me, I am a miserable man when you are not with me, and had it not been, that since I came down the last time, I have been kept pretty busy, and looking forward to the time

when we shall be permanently reunited, I dont know how I would have gotten along at all. True, it is my fault that we are separated now, but it is for your gratification, not mine I am sure, it is no pleasure to me. I did wish you to be at home (Pa&rsquo;s) at a certain time, and I find already that my predictions were true. Lis[?] Waddell was here the other day for dinner, and while eating he remarked, &ldquo;Frank, I never saw any one keep themselves as close at home afteR they are married as you, I used to see you at Ch&rsquo;ville every other day, but since you are married I never see you, but after while you will be glad to get from home sometimes.&rdquo; Mark the expression! I just though, what a sad history of your married life, but thank God mine is quite different, just the reverse, and did I believe for a moment that I &ldquo;would be glad to get from home sometimes&rdquo; every prospect of one moments happiness would be gone forever. That one remark tells a sad tale. My wish and hope is, that we will soon be together again, and while life lasts, may never again be separated for a single week, for surely &ldquo;Home is not home without thee.&rdquo; But I find it is getting late, and I must retire or rob myself of necessary sleep. Please read this to no one, or let no one see it. Good night Friday night. I had an opportunity to mail this, to-day but thought I would put it off until to- morrow, as I might get a letter to-day in answer to mine, but I will mail this to-morrow. Don&rsquo;t know

which will reach you first, myself or the letter I have some little news to tell you, but I can&rsquo;t write it nothing of much importance however. I feel like I could sit down + talk to you about six hours, and I hope I will soon have the pleasure of doing so. At no time before our marriage was I as anxious to see you as I have often been since, and especially at present. I know that you will look for me to-morrow night, but I cannot possibly go. I have a right hard days work before me to-morrow. I want to spend a couple hours time the garden to-morrow evening for it needs work badly, though everything seems to be growing very well. I dont think I ever did as hard a weeks work in my life as I have this week, I hardly get an idle moment except when eating or sleeping, and I see no prospect of any better times for the next month. Please try and have every thing ready so we can get a very early start the day we come home, as the weatehr is very warm, and danger of storms in teh evening. I suppose I will be up the latter part of next week, and I will have no time to tarry when I come. I hope soon to have you with me, for all week &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve spent in the bed-room alone, and say, my dear one have you.&rdquo; I hope there will be no necessity for my having to write to you soon again, so nothing more.

Locust Glen Monday night June 22nd/68 My Dear Wife I reached home safely to-day about 10 clock, had a long, tedious, lonely ride, headache very badly until late this evening, I laid down and took a nap, + feel very well this evening or to-night rather. I met Father on my road home taking Nannie home. She got a little home-sick. Father has just gotten home. I write so soon, to suggest to you the propriety of allowing Essie to go home the latter part of this week, as I suppose she would like to go home before she comes down here, and had I not letter work Tom up + lead Lucy, (when I come for you) then we can put your saddle on her, and Essie can ride her down with us, provided that you want to bring your saddle down now. If you don&rsquo;t I can bring a side-saddle up with me. Would not that be the best way for her to come down? I know she can ride Lucy, if we are along with her, + if you feel like it you might ride horseback part of the way, or would it suit better for me to bring my saddle + ride the ride the horse myself? It is left for you to decide. We cannot all ride in the buggy, for I find one of the wheels is very weak, and I don&rsquo;t want one pound of unnecessary baggage. I don&rsquo;t want to get it fixed now for it would cost me a good deal, and it might do some time for us to just ride to church and

don&rsquo;t think I will want to go any place in it for six months after you come down. I think we will try + content ourselves as home for a while, don&rsquo;t you? Well, it seems to me that there has been very little done to the house sicne we went away I am afraid it will be longer before it is finished than I expected it to be, however I would like for you to get through with your work as soon as you can, and be prepared to move at a moments war ning, for at such an hour as you think not, Frank may come. I can&rsquo;t let you stay very long, house or no house. I don&rsquo;t believe in this way of a man being divided, half one place and half another, particularly when the &ldquo;better half&rdquo; is so far away from the other. I can&rsquo;t tell you now when I will come for you, or whether I will come to see you before I come for you or not, but I spec not. Just hold yourself in readiness. Write as soon as convenient + let me know what arrangements I had better make. I intend trying to get some one to stay help you, a few weeks at least, or constantly if you need her. I think I can get Belle Acord, and I believe you will be pleased with her. It is nearly an hour after my bed-time + I must close + got ot bed. by myself. With a fervent God bless you I bid you &ndash; Good Night. Your loving husband Frank Please let no one see this, yours are read by myself alone

Saturday morning March 21st 1868 My Dear Wife As father is going to town to-day, I will write you a few lines, as I may not be up before the last of next week. I may come almost any day if the weather is so that you can come down, but if the weather continues rough I will be up some time next week to see you even if I know you cannot come down. We are all quite well. Take good care of yourself this cold weather. Please take care of that letter of Bob Cochrans, as there are some things in it I want to see. My movements will be controlled by the weather entirely. God bless and protect you, my dear wife, is the prayer of Your devoted husband Frank

Tuesday night, March 10th/68 My Dear Wife, It is bed-time, but I have just thought as I expect to go to town to-morrow that I had better write you a few lines, and mail to-morrow. As I expected, I spent Sabbath night as Uncle Wms, and got home safely yesterday morning, and to-day, I have been hauling saw-logs to the mill, and feel pretty tired to-night. Part of the machinery about the mill got broken this evening and I fear it will affect our house ar rangements considerably. We have three logs there to saw yet, which will be all the lum ber we will need about the house, expect the plastering laths, Uncle Jas promised to saw them for us very shortly, but this piece of bad luck will, I expect, prevent him from sawing for several weeks. We are all well. No news. Excuse this short note, as I am very tired, will write again before I come up. (perhaps.) Your devoted husband Frank.

Sallie has not been so well today as she has been was very restless this morning and we thought best to give her some of the medicine the Dr left for her. I was very uneasy about her but she has awakened since I commenced and is so much better tonight I think. The medicine I gave her this morning had a good affect When you come up please bring my purple dress that has the ruffle round the skirt I believe the roll of pieces like it is there in the upper drawer. I will have to alter it before I wear it. Ginnie Ott, Rachel Mines + mag were here to-day. I will not close to-night and will tell you how Sallie is in the morning. Ma say up all day today. It is mid night and Sallie claims my attention an I know you would say &ldquo;go to bed&rdquo;. Saturday morning. I will add a few lines this morning but will have to be in a hurry as John wants to start. Sallie is a good deal better is very sprightly and rested very well last night.

Thursday Night February 27th/68 My Dear Wife You will be surprised and per- haps somewhat amused to learn that I have again taken possession of my Old Bachelor&rsquo;s Den. I think I shall now give it the name of &ldquo;Widowers Retreat.&rdquo; What do you think of it? We will have some work hands before long, plasterers, stone mason +c. and fixed up this room for them and I have concluded to occupy it my self until we need it for them. A stone mason from the Pastures was to have been here several days ago to build the foundation, for the house but this rough spell of weather has hindered him from coming. The carpenters have the frame almost finished, and if the weather is good, and the mason comes on, I suppose we will raise sometime next week. I think [?] the weather is very unfavorable or something serious occurs to hinder, the house will be finished by the 1st June. I think we have been getting along remarkably well, considering that we have had so little good weather, the days so short and I have been away so much, for I do tell you there is but little done when I am away. I have been hauling logs to the mill, and [?] home, to-day, and feel right tired to- [?] [?] though I feel bunch better this [?] than usual, perfectly well in fact, but I

would feel much better satisfied if I knew that you and our little babe were well to-night. My mind is constantly uneasy of late. I expect to go to Ch&rsquo;ville to-morrow, hope I will get a letter from you, will not close this until I see. John + Siddie were up to-day. They are quite well. No news in the neighborhood I believe. The news from Washington I think is enough for a while. It is startling indeed. My sincere wish is, that as President Johnson has taken a stand, that he may remain as firm as a rock, and not yield one inch to those notorious Radicals led the conse- quence be what it may. However if there is any fighting to be done, I shall &ldquo;stand off and look on&rdquo; as long as possible During the last war, when I had no wife and baby, I was perfectly willing to be in the army, but it is quite different now. I was to be in the bosom of my family above all otehr places, there I expect to spend my happiest houses. My implicit confidence in you leads me to believe that home will be the sweetest spot on earth, for it is in your power to make it pleas ant to me, and I know you will do it. Nothing more to-night, will finish to-morrow Friday evening. Father is going to Ch&rsquo;ville this evening and I will send this by him to mail. I will be up the last of next [?] if nothing happens. Affectionately your [?] J. Fra [?] [?]

Fruit Grove, Wednesday Morn. Feb 26th 1868 My Dear Husband Robt got home last night safely and cheered me with a few lines from you. I am al- ways glad to see your handwriting if it is only a few lines. I am glad my dear husband that you improve every opportunity. I am so glad you got home safely and tat Nellie is down and that dreaded job is over. I guess it will not be long ere you will take the rest of your &ldquo;stock&rdquo; down Sallie Steele is better than when you left I think but is very restless and weak at times. I think the eruption is partly the casue of it. The Dr was here that evening and asked particularly for you when you would be back +c.

She is very sprightly most of the time laughs and seems quite well at times. Ma is able to sit up part of the time. Sister is still here waiting on Sallie you need. not have any fears about me being exposed while she is here. I feel so unbounded gratitude towards her for her untiring kindness to our sweet little babe + myself. Marie Hawpe is tolerably well is as much reconciled as could be expected under the circumstan ces. I will let you know if Sallie gets any worse.

Monday night Feb 24th/68 My Dear Wife, I just happened to think of sending your letter by Rob&rsquo;t and wont allow the opportunity to pass without writing a few lines. We got along very well with Nellie. She led much better than I expected her to do. I found everything all right at home, except the little colt is very lame. I don't know whether it has gotten hurt or not. It was about dark when I saw it, and couldn&rsquo;t notice it particularly. If you can, please write to me about Wednesday or Thursday, and let me know how Sallie

She has been very sick since I wrote before with cold I was very uneasy about her, but she is better now, the eruption is dying on her now. but I still feel it and have a bad cold. I guess I will take broken doses of salts. Ma&rsquo;s hand has been very bad she did not rest scarcely any with it for the first few nights.

Home, Monday night Jan 24th/68 My Dear Wife, I have one great privilege when I cannot be with you. I can talk to you a little anyhow, but the &ldquo;mischief&rdquo; of it is, I have to wait so long for an answer. But you might say, &ldquo;you will wait no longer now than you did about 12 months ago, and you were willing then to wait for a reply through &ldquo;Uncle Sam&rdquo; and that in a more impor tant matter than the present too.&rdquo; But my dear wife, let me explain. I wrote that letter &ldquo;with fear and trembling&rdquo; and did not want a reply too soon until I could have time to prepare for it. I awaited your reply with fear and trembling, I received it, Do (dillo) I mean.) opened it, do, and read it in the same manner. I expect the family thought I had &ldquo;tuck&rdquo; the ages&rdquo; from the way I &ldquo;shuck&rdquo;. Well I &ldquo;spec&rdquo; if you had said no, I would have been in California diggin gold now. (Wonder if you don&rsquo;t wish you had said no, well, if you do, I know another gal what wanted me.) I saw a mighty pretty girl at church yesterday, and I know she wanted me to go home with her from the way she looked. I tell you this is a way I never did before in my life, going to church by myself, and back home by myself and I am heartily tired of it. You had better hurry up, and come down to go with me, or I will have to hunt up some one else. Father and Mother went to church last

night, and spent the night at John&rsquo;s, and Father intended going to Staunton to-day and coming home to-night, but he has not come yet, and it is now bed-time. We are getting nothing done about the house as we have so many things to hinder us. We went to Staunton with the wagon Saturday I took four barrels of flour and rec&rsquo;d for it $45,00, just about enough to get a good cook stove. I intended keeping the money for that purpose. I brought out your chairs, got them rubbed a little, but not badly injured. The meeting at Churchville will hinder us two days this week, and the meeting will probably be continued through the whole of next week at night, instead of this week, as I wrote in my last letter, which will also hinder us somewhat. If you don&rsquo;t receive letters from me regular ly I wish you to tell me. I wrote to you a few days after I came down the time before the last, also the latter part of last week. Fannie + Sallie have retired, and I am sitting here all alone writing to you. If you could just look through the window and see me, you would think that I was a perfect picture of solitude. How I would like to know this moment how you are, what you are doing, and if I have a place in your thoughts. Could I be with you only a few minutes now, how much sweeter my rest would be to- night. This one thought is ever present on my

mind. When will we be constantly together? I look forward to it as the happiest period of my life, yet the question will sometimes arise &ndash; will I be disappointed? I hope not, for several reasons. First, because I have every reason to believe that you, my dear one, will do everything in your power to render me happy, and my future happiness is, in a great measure in your hands. Please remember this, for my sake. I firmly believe that the happiness of a husband never was, to a greater degree in the hands of a wife than in this instance, and I make this solemn, earnest request of you &ndash; &ldquo;point out my faults to me and help me to correct them.&rdquo; Will you do it? I will not only consider that you have performed your duty by so doing, and as doing me a favor, but will also look upon it as a proof of affection. It is our duty to benefit each other in every possible way. I really desire but few things in this world. A sufficiency of the necessaries and comforts of life, for myself and family, a hope of Heaven that the life an health of the partner of my bosom may long be spared, that I may have her love and confidence as I possessed it the day that bound us together. for life. I have often thought since our marriage, of a remark made to me by a married friend, during the war. We were speak ing about married persons spending the honey moon, in different ways +c when he remarked &ldquo;I had no honey-moon at all. I have been

married ten years, and we are precisely the same to each other now that we were on our wedding day.&rdquo; I replied that I believed it was different in most cases, and he said he knew it was, but why should it be? Why is it? Yes, that is the question. My sincere wish is, that it may be with us as it was with my friend J. M. McCue. It is very late, and for the present I close. Wednesday night January 29th I rec&rsquo;d your letter today and as I am goin gto Churchville early in the morning, will close this tonight, and mail it tomorrow. I have been in a brown study this evening about going to see you tomororw. I am very sorry to hear that you and the babe are unwell, also to hear of Ma&rsquo;s accident. I would like so much to be with you, but I feel it to be a duty to be at church during the meeting, and how much more I would enjoy it if you could be with me. Do not attribute it to indifference that I do not come sooner, for no place on earth is half so pleasant as by your side. But I have to be controlled by circumstance. The all-absorbing thought and wish with me is to be con stantly with you, and yet, I fear it will be a good while before this is the case. How different are my feelings to-night from the rest of the family! As they sit to-night around a bright, cheerful fire ti seems (judging from appearance) that thereh is nothing to mar their happiness, but with me it is quite different. Were I only by my own fireside and you were with me, I could listen with pleasure to the howling of the storm.

I will not be up before the last of next week unless I get some word from you, and if at any time you or the babe get sick don&rsquo;t wait for me to come but send for me at once. I will pay Robert or anyone for coming if you want them to come. The time will appear very long to me, and I know it will to you, but unter the circumstance it is the best that I can do. I will come through Staunton and get you the medicine, and if you want anything else write me a few lines the first of the week and I will get it for you. When you receive a letter from me before you write, please acknowledge the receipt of it, as it will be a satisfaction to me to know that you got it. We are getting nothing at all done about the house on account of the weather. We have a great deal of hauling to do, but can get nothing done. I have to go to mill to-morrow, and then the meeting the rest of the week, will prevent us from getting anything done this week, and next week we will be busy nearly all week working in the tan-yard. You speak of my being exposed so much on your account. Allow me to remind you, my dear, that if it is for my own pleasure as well as yours that I take those long, lonely rides. I feel that I am well repaid for my trouble, did I consider it a trouble. Your love, and the sacrifices you have made for me, and are still willing to make, can sweeten many a bitter cup.

You have been all to me, and done all for me that a wife could do, and I am sure I ought to be willing to make sacrifice for your comfort, but I do not consider that I have yet done it, and I sincerely hope that your influence over me may never be lost, although some persons seem to think that I should not suffer you to influence me. Should we ever fail to have an influence over each other, I fear the consequences. Only let your course of conduct and actions toward me for the last eleven months continue, and I assure you you may place implicit confidence in me, and as far as it is in my power, you shall be happy to see you made happy shall be my greatest happiness. I saw Captain Sterrett at Churchville to-day he inquired very particularly for you. It makes no difference about fixing those gloves that I left now, as I will not wear them for some time; I have no scraps of buck skin to get them mended, however I appre ciate your kindness. No news at present. Take as good care of yourself as you can. Your devoted husband Frank Love to all

Home, Thursday-night January 9th/68 My Dear Wife, It is not bed-time, but as I expect to go to Ch&rsquo;ville early in the morning, I will write you a few hasty lines to-night We are all quite well, except that I am suffering considerably with my shoulders since I came home, though I have been pretty busy at work. I expect to take the buggy to Churchville to-morrow to get it reparied, as I am afraid to risk bring- ing you down in it, in the condition it is in now, as I will have a greater load than I had when we went up, as there will be three of us now. Let me know whether or not to come prepared to bring you down the next time I come up, I mean the last of next week. This place does not seem like home without you. &ldquo;This place&rdquo; did I say? I did not say home for I cannot call it home when you are absent. Fahter and I drew off the plan of the new building to-night, and I am very much pleased with it. For a small family like ours, I think it will be very convenient and comfortable, and I do assure you my dear wife, I shall, do all for your comfort and convenience that is in my power, for you are worthy of far more than I will ever be able to do for you. I long for the time when we shall have a bright happy house of our own, then our

aim shall be be, each one to labor for the welfare of the other, In health and prosperity to rejoice together, to comfort each other in sorrow, and minister to each other&rsquo;s wants in affliction. My happiest hours are spent with you, and God forbid that I shall ever seek happiness elsewhere than in the bosom of my own family. I expect to be able to build a house on the Churchville land this Spring, may bargain with some one this week yet to do the work. I find I cannot get along without having some one living on it. It is bed-time and I shall have to close very abruptly. Be very careful of yourself, and don&rsquo;t work too hard, for htat when compared with your health is of very little importance. God bless and protect you, my noble wife is the prayer of Your loving husband J. Frank Heizer

Home, Dec&rsquo;r 17th 1867 My Dear Wife, Father and Mother expect to go to see you to-morrow, and I cannot allow the opportunity to pass without writing a few lines, although they can tell you all the news. mother just got in the notion all at once, but I am very glad of it, as there is a prospect of good weather. I have yet three five days to teach, I keep count every day. I think I will feel like another person when it closes. I have no rec&rsquo;d your letter yet, as no one has been at the office, but I am anxious to get it, as it has been a long time since I rec&rsquo;d a letter from you. If you are able, write a few lines by father. It will do my good to see your hand-writing, it will look like you are getting well. I will send some of your wedding &ldquo;fixins&rdquo; for Mary Steele, by mother, send me word what else you need, and I will bring them myself. I also send you some sarsaparilla, I think you had better make some bitters of them and use until I get have of an opportunity of getting you something better. It is doubtful about my coming up until the day after Christmas, unless you wish me to come that day for some special reason. Father wants to tkae Mary F. and Sallie to Churchville to the Fair that day and wants me to stay at home with mother. Nothing more. Affectionately your husband J. Frank Heizer

Fruit Grove December 11 1867 My Dear Husband I am leaning up in bed + feel that I must write you a few lines if they are few and badly written. I feel that it is almost too much of an undertaking as I have only leaned up in bed but once before. and am quite too weak to sit up on a chair. I have been mending slowly since you left, have not much of an appetite + not enough of milk for our babe. She is just as good as she can be, you would scarcely know there was a child in the house. I think when I get up my appetite will improve and I will have milk for the babe. I will have to lie down as I am suffering + am tired. Friday morning Annie wrote the above lines on Wednesday + did not feel like writing more + got me to finish as soon as we found we would have an opportunity to mail it, She feels today about like she did when she wrote _ babe is well we think Annie is improving slowly, cannot sit up yet. We will send for you immediately if she gets really worse. Hope you are quite well. We rec&rsquo;d a letter from Sallie Paxton saying Marie J[?] is invited to wait on a lady from Richmond who is to be married to John Paxton New Year eve.

Home, Wednesday night Dec&rsquo;r 11th 1867 My Dear Wife, For fear that I will not see you the last of this week, I have concluded to write a few lines. It is my expectation to see you Saturday, but from some cause, I may be disappointed, and this will do in my place. I was very much afraid last Sabbath that my horse would not bring me home, he seemed to be worn out before I had gotten a mile. I stopped at Uncle Smiley&rsquo;s thinking that he could give me something for him, but he thought he could not give him anything that would do him any good that day, so I stayed until after dinner, and then started

He is perfectly carried away I will give you a full history when I see you, provided I can find the time. Well, my dear, my school is drawing to a close, and I am glad, gladder, gladdest. Some of the subscribers are just begging me to teach all winter, but “nary time”. Father was at John’s yesterday, and found Siddie and the baby both unwell, and Lizzie left them a few days ago. I have been uneasy about you all week. If you get worse, do get some one to come down and let me know We are all well. Nothing more. Affectionately, your husband J. Frank Heizer Take good care of the enclosed gem (marriage)

Home, Dec 10th/67 My Dear Friend, I believe I wrote the last letter to you, but I am not at all ceremonious[?] and besides I promised to let you know how I got home +c. The night after I left you, I spent at Mr Alex Brownlee&rsquo;s and as usual, spent the night very pleasantly, for I felt that I was amongst my best friends. The next night I spent at John Wrights, the next day came to Wm Mr Bells wtih Cousin Fannie, and from there home last night. As I expected, I found several letters for me, one from George W., one from John Smith, and one from Jennie S. You will think strange, that I would

recieve a letter from one so near home, but I will some time, make an explanation. It is exceedingly pleasant for me to know that I have such a friend. When I came home, I found Cousin Newt Brown here. He will board with us, and go to school at Churchville until John gets to keeping house, when he will board with him. I wrote to Joe Wilson last night on business, the nature of which, you no doubt have an idea. I have the letter to Newt to-day to mail, and after he started I was told that Jow was at home. I then went down to see him, and told him some very pleasant things, and he asked me to go up to Mr Alex Brownlee&rsquo;s with him in a couple of weeks, and I consented to do so. Please say nothing about this to any one, and I will give you the particulars

when I see you. When this shall be, it is for you to say, for reasons which I will now give. When I last saw you, I gave my reasons for the course I pursued, over 12 months ago, but I do not believe my reasons were satisfactory to you. I must acknowledge, that I alone am to blame in this matter, and I have censured myself, for some things that I did, yet I assure you, in the first place, I did, what was in my opinion best. I did not ask to be released from the engage ment on account of any dissatisfac tion on my part, but because I considered it impracticable to carry out, or execute my plans for several years, and in that time, I did not know what changes might take place, and consequently wished the engagement to be broken, or at least suspended. Few ladies, placed

in your situation, would have acted as you have done. I admire you for it. Although you believed that you were the injured party, I do not believe that you have ever spoken an unkind word of me to any one. Can you now consent to be the same to me that you were two years ago? I know of no reasons why we should not. I love you yet, as tenderly, and sincerely as ever. My mind reverts to-night to the many pleasant hours we have spent together in the past. I was happy then, only when with you, and my earnest wish is, that you may be my companion through life, and should you consent to bestow on me your affections, it is my wish that we may be united in the shortest possible time. I have not lately consulted my parents on the subject, but I assure you they will not only, not object, but will be delighted.

My reasons for writing to you on this subject, instead of waiting until I see you is that I wish to have your reply, and should you accept my offer, I wish to consult my parents, and then when I see you, we can make all necessary arrangements. Another reason is, that I hope an exchange of letters is unnecessary. I refer to the exchange spoken of when I last saw you. Should my offer be rejected, I wish to exchange with youall letters now in our possession. (This one included) In conclusion, if you accept I will see you in a short time, to make all necessary arrangements, and if you reject, I will return your letters to you in person, and we will then close the correspondence, or carry it on in a strictly friendly manner, and I know we shall separate as friends. Again I say, &ldquo;forget the past&rdquo;

I got to Uncle Wm about sun-set Sabbath evening, and spent the night, and came home the next morning in time for school. I sincerely hope I will not lose any more time from school, as I only have a little upwards of two weeks to teach after this week. I am just sick and tired of teaching under the present circumstances, yet if it suited me I would like it very well. I have the satisfaction of knowing that my

Well Annie, I suppose if some stranger would come along to-night, and see me sitting up here in teh school-room by myself, they would just set me down as an old bachelor, but I have the satisfaction of knowing that such [?] the case. My feelings my last birth-day were far different from those of a bachelor I assure you. Do you not think so? I do not feel at all bachelor like, if I do lead a life similar to that of a bachelor.

were it not that I hope for better times. I do not expect to be with you much until after the close of my school, if you are well, but I expect to be with you during the holidays, and probably a great deal during the winter if the weather should be very cold. But be this as it may, hope we will have a home of our own by next spring, and then I hope we will know no such thing as being separated. In the meantime take the best possible care of yourself, and I hope it will not be long until you can spend a couple of weeks with me. It is now sleeting and snowing, and it seems that winter has set in in earnest, but I feel quite indifferent now, as my school is

Shoudl you, my dear wife, get worse do not put off sending me word too long, for nothing would prevent my being with you, if in the enjoyment of health myself. Since our marriage, you have been an affectionate, devoted wife, you have been all to me, and done all for me that a wife could do, and I hope and pray that I may ever be worthy of your love for I have often thought, since our marriage that I was unworthy of your affection. O! Dear Annie, did I not have a loving, affectionate wife, I would be a miserable man, but I am dis- tinguishably blessed, and ought to be, and were I not separated from you would be a happy man. May I become a better Christian and thus a better husband is the prayer of your husband J. F. Heizer

Locust Glen Academy November 12th/67 My Dear Wife, I intended writing to you last night, but was unavoidably prevented from doing so by being called on yesterday evening to go to the mountain above Mr Shur leys to fight fire. He/ (Mr. S) came down for me and as he seemed to be very uneasy I dismissed school, and went up, and had a tolerably serious time of it until just before night when a shower of rain came on, and extinguished it. I came home then, and felt so completely worn out that I re- tired very early, and besides, George W. was with me, and I could get no opportunity to write; but more than all

I would have had no opportunity of mailing a letter today, even if I had written, and I cannot possibly get time to go to Churchville myself. Jessie R. has quit us, and I have a great deal now to do in consequence. It keeps me busy as can be to get in corn adn wood, and attend to the feeding and father has a great deal to attend to. We expect Geo Wilson to haul logs to the saw mill to-morrow for lumber for the house. Father seems very anx- ious to have it completed as soon as possible. I think if the winter is open, and nothing serious happens to prevent, we will have it completed early in The Spring. I had a talk with him on the subject this evening, and I urged him to hurry it up as fast as possible. Father intends trying to-morrow to hire a hand a month, and

if he succeeds in getting one for that length of time, I think we will get our lumber all hauled, and our corn gathered, and directly after, that, my school will be out, and then I can attend to things myself. I am getting more anxious every day to have a house of my own. The fault is not Jessie&rsquo;s entirely, that he has left us. I will explain when I see you again. I feel as though my hands will be tied until this business arrangement is completed and then I hope I shall be free. I don&rsquo;t think I can possibly come up before the 23rd, I have so much to do I must spend next Saturday at home. Would there be any chance to get Robert Organ to bring those hogs down in the one horse wagon? If he will I will pay him for it, I don&rsquo;t see how I can possibly come for them soon, I mean until after my school is out. I spoke to Father about going for them, but he said he did not think he could possibly go, and indeed he has so much

to do that it would be unreasonable to expect him to go, however if Rob&rsquo;t will not bring them down, I will try and make some arrangements about them. I have no news at all. We are all well. May God strengthen and sustain you in trial and suffering, and hasten the time when we may be permanently reunited is my sincere prayer Love to all. Devotedly your husband J. Frank Heizer

Fruit Grove October 31st 1867 My Dear Husband As I will have an opportunity of sending a letter to Staunton I will write to you, if I do feel nervous and badly. I feel that it will be rather a poor concern but know you will appreciate it too much to criticize either language or spelling very severely. I have been as well as usual since you left; but feel very lonely. time has been draging slowly since you left. I have been more serious and thoughtful than usual I feel that the time (two weeks) will be a long time. The ground is covered with snow this morning and it seems that stern winter has commenced. It has a different affect upon my spirits, now I think of being separated from my dear husband and no chance of seeing him only by him being exposed to the freezing cold and wild storms of win ter. If your health was better, perhaps I would not suffer so much uneasiness; but I so much fear your exposure will lay you up, and me not be able to get to you. Oh do take good care of yourself. I wish I could be with you [?] of the communion, but it is a vain wish. I hope the time is not far distant when we can be together all the time and I be able to supply your wants, so far as it is in my power, I do pray so earnestly that I may be a more dutiful wife. and that God will make us better christians, and the nearer we get to Him the clearer we will be to each other, Pray earnestly for your dear wife, for I assure you I need your prayers.

Home, September 30th 1867 My Dear Annie, It was not my expectation when I last saw you to write to you so soon as this, but I know of no other means of passing away my lonely hours, as pleasantly as writing to my own Dear Annie. I really believe yesterday was the loneliest day of my life. I saw no one on the road scarcely until I got to Staunton, when I found a considerable crowd on the streets, but did not find out the cause until I got about halfway out to Churchville, when I met overtook some of the Churchvillians going home, who told me that Mr Munsey preached in Staunton. They told me that it created almost as much excitement as Robinson&rsquo;s. Circus. Suppose you know him by reputation. Today was a lonely day also, went in the school room this morning, with only 7 scholars, not enough to keep me busy, and consequently I took the &ndash; yes, the blues. Well this evening just before school was dismissed, Miss Bettie Bear, Ella Hanger, and Lizzie Young called in, and seemed to be very much disappointed when they found out that you were away from home, (or at home [?] as you choose to have it) particularly Miss Young. They stayed until near sunset, and then went down to Mr Hanger&rsquo;s. Bettie B. says I must come up to see her during your absence, and she will entertain me the very best she can. Think I will go, ought I not? I expect to spend a good many of my evenings away from home during your absence, for the society of others is better than none. No one, or no member of others can fill your place, for when you are with me, I can but little for the society of any one else. Has not my actions proved the truth of this assertion? I took all my clothing upstairs to-day, and will sleep upstairs in future, and Father and Mother took full possession of our room to-day. We are seated to-night

around a cheerful fire, and it really looks like told times to see us in our old sitting room, but one, the one about all others is absent the one, without whom, life would be a burden. But a short time however, I hope, will elapse until I will be with you again, and only a few months, I sincerely hope, until we will have a cottage of your own, some place in this wide world. I will be an unhappy man until this takes place. You are worthy of being much better provided for than I will ever be able to do, I fear. Be this as it may, God grant that I may, at least become a better man, and kinder husband, for I know my dear wife, that I never can repay you for your constancy, kindness, and devotion, but I feel confident that in Heaven you shall receive your reward. I know that I fall far short of my duty, but I know that your generous heart will forgive every offence. How fortunate, I have often thought have I been in securing a partner for life, who returns good for evil. Mother wishes to go to bed, and I must close, as I want to send this to C. to- morrow morning. He is going to Presbytery with Mr. Fletcher to-morrow. I rec&rsquo;d a letter from Becca for you this evening. Sallie came home this evening, and will start to school to me in the morning. No more at present. My love to all. Devotedly your husband Frank

Tuesday night June 11th/67 My Dear Annie, The family have all retired, but as I have an opportunity of mailing a letter to morrow, I will write you a few lines to-night. After George and I passed through Greenville, he got in the buggy with me and let his horse, I called in Staunton and attended to my business there, got your photos, which I think are pretty good. I will send you one of them, am afraid to risk both by mail. We finished fixing our pipes this evening, to-morrow Father will go to Staunton, and I will plow corn. Father will not get me a stove to-morrow, simply because he has not the money

but he has given me a good cow instead which I expect I will have to sell her and get a stove with the money. It is exceedingly doubtful about my getting to see you thie last of the week, as I will be using the horses constantly, and will be very busy myself, but I wish you to get along as rapidly as possible with your work, so you can come home. The first line of a piece of poetry, &ldquo;Linger not long, home is not home without thee&rdquo; is almost constantly on my mind. I really feel like I am forsaken. I commenced gathering strawberries for you to-day, but I quickly remem bered that you were not here to get them. I miss you more now than I did the first week you spent at home. I often looked towards the house to-day, expecting to see you, but

all in vain. Please make your arrangements to come home as soon as you can for without you (I say it in candor) life is not desirable. It is time for me to retire, and I will close, I commenced writing on a sound piece of paper, but tore it after wards, and I have had a miserable pen. Let no one see this. May God bless, you and protect you, and enable me to become more worthy of one who so earnestly labors for my welfare is the prayer of Your devoted husband Frank

Home, April 16th 1867 My Dear Annie, Why is it that that the correspondence which has been carried on for four or five years should be broken off now? I think I wrote the last letter about two months ago, don&rsquo;t remember the time exactly, but know it was a few days before the 21st February. Well, why did you not reply? That is what I want to know. I had thought seriously of pursuing your hand, but your failure to answer my last letter has prevented me from making any advances, however if nothing occurs to prevent, I hope I may have the pleasure of seeing you in a few days. Yes, next Saturday is the day that I have set apart for this purpose, if my heart doesn&rsquo;t

fail. Really I am so timid that I am afraid if I am so fortunate as to succeed in seeing you, that I will not have the courage to make known the object of my visit. I am lonely, lonely, will next Saturday ever come? If every day this week is to be as long as yesterday and today, what will I do? Sallie and I have entire possession to-day. Father, Mother, and Fannie have gone to Uncle Wm Browns to-day and will not be home until to-morrow night. Oh Annie! It seems to me that I never knew how dearly I loved you until this week. I am miserable, and may just as well acknowledge it, feel like I am foresaken, had not a friend in the world. Last night, before retireing I drew my chair up to the fire, and took a seat thinking I would try and cheer up, tried every means in my power to do so, but all to no avail. As a last resort I got my pipe, as it used to have a soothing influence

but it has lost its power. There is but one thing that can make me feel like myself again and that is, to be with you. I am rather melancholy turn of mind, and since our marriage, I have frequently felt sad and defeated but it almost invariably vanishes as soon as I come in your presence. I merely say this that you may know what an influence a cheerful coun tenance, and pleasant smile has upon me. It is my lot to be deprived of these for a short time, and I will bear it as best I can. And now Dear Annie with the hope of soon again seeing you, I bid you an affectionate farewell. Your loving husband Frank My love to all, Sallie also sends love to &ldquo;all&rdquo;. I almost forgot to say that Father got a letter for you yesterday, mailed at Steele&rsquo;s Tavern, will bring it up Saturday. Please let no one see this. Mrs Frank Sterrett has a son. That is the latest news.

You authorize me to invite some of my friends. and wish to know who will come. of our family I have invited Sister (Mrs Mc). Marie Steele Paxton + Pa. They will go. As Martin was obliged to decline waiting on you on account of a buggy, he will go with them on horseback. I extended your invitation to my family, and the above named are all that are going. I thought you would like to see Martin and I knew he would be delighted to [?] We are all delighted to hear that Mr John is all wright and will bring his melodeon. he can leave it until he brings his lady back. In regard to staying down a month, of course if you wish it, I will do it as &ldquo;you will, shall be my pleasure.&rdquo; I had not thought of staying more than two or three weeks; but know that it is best that I stay longer as the roads are so miserable now I am afraid we will stick in the mud Friday

a heavy heart to tell me that he would be obliged to decline. I guess it is not so bad but it might be worse as I have not heard from Blanche yet and I think it almost too late to supply both places, as one of the party might decline for want of time to get ready and that would subject us to a great deal of inconvenience. So I think we had best just depend upon the three a piece and then we will know what to [?] upon We will (perhaps)

Home February 11th/67 My Dear Annie. I rec&rsquo;d your letter of the 7th this evening, found everything satisfactory, except I was sorry to hear that you had not yet heard from Miss Blanche. I am afraid she will be behind the times I went to Hebron yesterday, and from there to Wm Ms[?] Bell&rsquo;s for dinner, and to John Wrights last night, and I will just say here that John is all right. He wishes me to spend Wednesday night (the 20th) with him, and it is likely that I will do so. I will make arrange ments with my attendants to

John Wright will comp comply with your request, in regard to bringing his melodeon with him. I will write to John Dempster to-night to come down for Miss Jennie. She will be at your house Wednesday night. Should John Dempster fail to come, James Henry Bear will take her up. I will meet your father in Staunton next Monday, of if he fails to come that day, form any cause, I will meet him in Staunton the next day. Should anything occur to prevent you from being ready on the 21st, please let me know as soon as you can. I have not heard

from Martin yet, and I think it best to write him another note by you, if I send by mail I fear he will not get it soon. I have all my arrangements completed now except hearing from him and getting the documents. A few words now in regard to our arrangements immediately after our marriage. I suppose, of course, we will come to Fathers on Friday, and it is my wish that you come prepared to stay at least a month, before paying a visit home, as it is so unpleasant travelling at this season of the year. I make this proposition now, thinking that you will have some preparation to make beforehand. I have given the invitation to the family to be present on the 21st but they are all forced to decline.

Fruit Farm February 7th 1867 Dear Frank Your letter came to hand yesterday evening. I was glad to hear from yourself and Jennie: but sorry to think that I could not meet you in Staunton, as we were down last Tuesday, - found the roads were getting so bad that we would not be able to make the trip in a day if we did not go as early as possible, did not make the arrangements until Monday night and couldn&rsquo;t possibly let you know. I have sent your letter to Martin and asked him to reply immediately. I have not time to comment points. Hope you will excuse me for not sending you the words to Departed Hours. We will of course have the Dr. Thompson he will be &ldquo;all right&rdquo; he has been suspecting pretty strongly [?] how - wish you could have seen him yesterday. how he watched Damaris + myself. I would like very much to hear if Mr. B and John Wright, will be on hand or not. I will expect to hear from you in regard to all of your second bests. I have not heard from Blanche yet. I guess she will act tho. In regard to Pa meeting you in Staunton, he thinks the Monday before (18th, I believe) Jennie will be obliged to go before that time. Pa will have to meet his school Friday and Saturday. So it will [?] him best Mon day &ndash; hope this appointment will not be inconvenient for you.

Home February 4th 1867 My dear Annie, I was so fortunate as to meet John Dempster a short time after I left Greenville, and he was as I expected like cold souse[?]&rdquo; always ready, seemed really delighted, particularly with the idea of coming down for Miss Jennie. we came down to Mr John Shuey&rsquo;s and called in to warm, and to my surprise found Maggie Ott there.

So unmercifully. I can hardly think of anything that she doesn&rsquo;t know. We came to Hebron yesterday, and from there home. This morning I went down to see Jennie, and after making her believe that I had been discarded, and telling her that I believed she was the cause of it, and teasing her almost to death, I delivered your letter. I had her almost crying at one time. It was cruel in me, but I could not help it. She could not decide this morning, but her letter to you will explain this matter. I received a letter from George W. saying that he thought it doubtful about being able to come in at that time, as it would not suit him to leave, So I have concluded to write to Martin, and if you can, see him, and tell him the importance of replying immediately.

Jennie is very anxious to meet you in Staunton, and I would like very much for you to let us know when you will be there so we can meet you, and I would suggest that you come as soon as you can make it convenient. Jennie says she reckons she will go with me. I would like for your father to meet me in Staunton at the same time, so I can get the docu ments. Since I came home, I have heard of another reason for wishing it to take place on the 21st. There will be preaching in Churchville on Saturday and Sunday (23rd and 24th) by Mr Fletcher, Presbyterian preacher from Richmond. I have not yet seen John Wright, but will see him some time this week. Please tell your father that I will depend on him to have Dr. Thompson at his house at that time. I believe this is

Fruit Grove Jan 22nd 1867 Dear Friend I guess you are thinking strange ly of me for not answering your letter of the 10th; but will not censure me when you hear that it only came to hand last night. None of us had been to G- for several days and it laid longer than it ought to have done. Before this reaches you, you will doubtless have received the one I mailed in Fairfield for you I am glad to hear that Joe is on fair footing. (or is likely to be.) I surely have never spoken a harmful word of you to anyone. That is out of my line of business. If I cant speak well I don&rsquo;t speak at all. And far from speak ing ill of one I love. I feel that I cant trust myself to write you a long letter now.

but will give you the reply that Gen&rsquo;l Jackson sent to Santa Anna. &ldquo;If he wants me, let him come and take me&rdquo; You will think strangely of the reply: but I think it is expressive enough. You can see what I mean by it. I have all along tried to do justice to everybody. and ask guidance from on high and I try to think that all is for the best however painful the reverse, and in regard to our affairs I think it a great deal for the best that it has been put off this long I hope there will be no more misunderstan dings and our future will be one bright sun. I hope you will not have be disappointed about this letter not coming sooner as I have written as soon as I could. Tell your parents of it, and come up soon. Mine are willing. I can scarecly realize that after more than a years mis understanding that I am to be the same I once was to you, and perhaps, ere long nearer than ever before.

Home January 21st /67 My Dear Friend, I received your letter of January 18th this evening, and after deliberating on it for some time, have concluded to answer it at once. I was surprised to find that you did not ac- knowledge the reciept of my letter of the 10th inst (I think it it was written on the 10th) To be brief, and make the matter plain, I asked some pointed questions in my last and for fear you did not receive it, I will repeat them. But before I go farther, I will call your attention to the fact that my last letter, was written

the 10th and yours the 18th and it is strange that in the length of time, my letter did not come to hand. But, to the point. When I last saw you, or rather when we last separated, it was my expectation to see you again, in a very short timewhen I hoped the contemplated exchange of letters [?] might be unnecessary. I censure myself for my past conduct towards you, and know that I have in some instances done you injustice, but I hope the expla nation I made when I last saw you, was satisfactory. There now remains but one thing to complete [?] my arrangements for the future, and also secure my happiness, and that is your consent to become my wife. I have the best of reasons for wishing an immediate

reply, you will appreciate my reasons when they are made known to you. I know you would prefer giving a verbal reply, but when I assure you that no one [?] your letters except myself, I think there are no grounds for objecting to reply- ing by letter. Will you accept my offer? A positive, affirmative answer to this question being given, you may expect to see me very soon after your reply is received, when I am confident I can make everything satisfactory. Allow me to state here, that if my offer is accepted, it is my wish that we be married as soon as practicable, for several important reasons, which were not known until quite recently. If you have received my last letter, and an- swered it, before you receive

Fruit Grove. January 18th 1867 Dear Friend I have been waiting to see if you would write and tell me how you got home but find that I will have to write and inquire sure enough. I would have written before this but I have been so busy that I have had no time to write any one I will now try and give you the jottings along the way since I saw you. I believe there was nothing starting the final few days after you left the time passed off with some company +c. Saturday morning I was in a fine spirits and made the remark that I thought nothing (scarcely) could dampen my enjoyment that day there was to be singing at O.P. that day and I was making preparations to go and expected a nice time.

but before I left I received sad intelli gence of Cousin Fannie Nephews death and I assure you it was a sad day to me I went to singing rather against my feelings and met with some of my friends. Martin proposed a sleigh ride and I enjoyed it more than anything else. I went to his house from singing and took supper and went on up to Mr N&rsquo;s. The funeral was preached at the Church as there was about eighty persons and they could not begin to get in the house Hawpe Carson brought me down to the Church. and Samil[?] Lightner from the church home.

I spoke of several persons coming in and keeping me from writing and it seems that I am not to get it finished.

I wish you could have been here to have heard some of his witty remarks about tra ding sewing machines. He is an agent for some Machine and says he will take trade he would rather have a machine that could sew, knit cook, and sit at the head of the table and pour out the cof- fee.

Dec 27, 1866 Home December 24th/66 Dear Friend, I only have time to write you a note tonight as I have stolen off to my room and left company in the house (Cousin Sallie Henderson, John [?] Siddie) As anticipated, every thing passed off very pleasantly at the wedding. I believe I told you who the attendants were to be. There was at our house, (besides the attendants) Missus Jennie Stover, Bettie Bear, Josie Glosbrenner, [?] Bettie Bear, and Daniel Wilson. We went to church at Union yesterday, and

Excuse this short and hasty note as I am in a great hurry. I have several letters to write tonight to correspondents long neglected. I will write as soon as the wedding is over, before I go to Bridgewater, if I can. As ever Your friend Frank
