July the 28th, 1859[?]
Mooresburg, Pulaski County, Indiana
My dearest friend, I now
take up my pen to write
you a few lines to let you
know that I have not
forgotten you. The time seems
long since I last saw you.
I fully expected to see you last
Sunday and felt very much
disappointed at not seeing you.
I feel very bad and do not
expect to feel any better until
I do see you.
We are going to have a picnic
next Saturday, which is the 30th
of July, and you are especially
invited, as many as can come, and
I shall be very happy to see you
here. I am well at this time,
except for a very bad cold.
