Title	Letter, Loulie Feemster to Alex W. Feemster 9/21/1863
Description	Letter, Loulie Feemster to her husband, Alex W. Feemster, in Selma, Alabama. She writes about a revival taking place among the Masons and tells him about some acquaintances who have joined. She also names people who have made professions at the church. She tells him how Mattie, who is now three months old, is doing, and expresses concern because she has already seen 'will manifested.' She emphasizes that she would rather be with him in Selma than anywhere else, even if she has to live in poor conditions. She tells him that Mattie had a cold, and that she used 'Tinct. Lobelia & Hive Syrup' on it. She writes that Jimmie Cox was conscripted and tried to get out of it, but was unable to do so. 1863.

Transcript	Home Sept. 21st 1863 Mr A. W. Feemster My Dearest Alex, We have just returned from church where we've listened to two very good sermons from Bros. Buchanan & Allen with the former I was delighted It was entirely a new sermon on an old text viz. "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Matt X v1-20 I fully agree with you in the opinion that Annis has a husband worthy of her. He & Bro Allen arrived here Saturday at dusk. Bro. Wood came to the church Sat. morn. having staid all night in town to attend a meeting of the Masonic lodge. By the way there is quite a revival among the Masons; all the Kidds except the old man & Bill have joined; Tommie was initiated Friday night. We have had very congregations both as regards numbers & behavior. Four anxious persons this morning & two professions Mrs. George Tucker & Mrs Ellis her step daughter & Miss Anda. Tucker was another of the anxious. There were more this eve. Bro. Stainback was out went home tonight on Miss Clara's account I suppose doesn't expect to be back tomorrow.
