not have

They lived on

of her.

Now she

Solomon
Meredith s
and he has w r i t t e n to
Milton twice
and
she,
once, ard. wants to go back. Milton i s
gone
He got her
l e t t e r
be
f o r e
he
left
a n d w ro te t o
h e r b u t I d o n t know what he
w r o t e .
He
w r o t e
a letter to S o l o m o n .
Since Milton l e f t
and
Jabes and
Tilmon both answered
it
they got the
c o ld c o m f or t .
Milton has broke up and sold everything n e a r l y and
c a r r i e d
o f f a l l h i s
b la ck s w it h
him
but
one which he
l e f t a t
his
f a t h e r s
to
help take
care
o f h i s
c h i l d r e n
a
hard
t a s k f o r P ol ly to have four little c h i l d r e n a -
r o u n d h e r .
We
r e c e i v e d
a
letter f r o m A be l a n d h e w r o t e th t
h e w an t e d
u s t o
w r i t e
the p a r t i c u l a r s about Mary and
I
have w r i t t e n
enough t o t i r e you
a l l .
You
can
w r i t e t o him,
t h e y a r e h i s
p e o p l e .
We have p l e n t y o f f r u i t . I d ri e d n ea rl y twenty bushels t o use and some
f o r b e e r . Vfe
have
our d i n i n g room n e a r l v
f i n i s h e d . I
s e n t the little
Meredith girl
that
I had to the
last
fall to tell ebecca
Hodgins. I should be glad
to
get a l e t t e r
from
her .
I w a n t t h e e t o w r i t e t o me
a n d
tell me who l i v e s w it h t h e e a n d how t h e e
gets
along
i n thy
old age
since thy
g i r l s
l e f t
thee.
I
have
more
help
and less work than I ever had
but
I don t know how
long it will be.
The
c as e b ein g, what
we
have
today we
a r e
not
sure
o f
tomorrow.
I believe I have nothing more
to
write a t p re se nt b ut remain yours ,
S a l l y Dwiggins
(to) Sally Dwiggins
a n d
c h i l d r e n
I n
back
o f the
l e t t e r from S a l l y Dwiggins
A few l i n e s t o
b r o t h e r
and s i s t e r and c h i l d r e n . We r e c e i v e d a l e t t e r
from Abe l dated th e
5
o f
l a s t month. He
was d e t a i n e d
a t
t h e Wabash r i v e r .
He
wrote
t o
you.
Had
been
t o
see your c h i l d r e n and
t h a t
s i s t e r had
been
very sick
since.
Which was
somry
to hear for such
hard
spel l s a person
never gets over. I know by
experience.
I should l ike
fo r
you to come and
see
us
or
any of
the family.
I saw
your
cousins
a t the
camp meeting. They
came
i n
the
tent
to
see
me and we
had a
chatten
spell
about
Abel.
They
are
Methodist.
I
forgot
the i r names.
All
three of
the
gir ls came to see
me.
T h e i r
b ro th er d id
n o t
tell Abel t h a t S e l e a n Donel i s marr ied t o James
Donel. He i s r i c h . Florence Kerner
i s
married to a Dutchman. I
d o n t
know
how to
spell
his name
down. Well, we were
invited to
the wedding.
I t snowed so that we did not
go.
I have spil led my
ink
two or three times
ai^
l e f t
out
words
but
maybe you
can
read
some and
guess a t
the
rest .
I
tried to get Samuel to write
this
side and could not. e took a jaunt
over
the mountains this winter to
look
at the count ry and talked of going
to Indiana to buy land. Milton talked of going
there
before he returned.
When Samuel is gone there i s no
white substance
with me. You may judge
how I get along. Lydia and
Sally
and Lyse (Liz) and Nancy, a l l
of
you write
to me. You
can f i l l
a sheet and Aunt S a l l y s g i r l s too. Tell Abel there
i s
some money
here
i f he wants it Before he comes for his
shoes
he must
write to us how to procede with
i t .
love,
I
bid
you
a l l
farewell.
