Transcript	Nacoochee. June 9th 1868 My dear sister Mamie, I am writing the first of this week, for fear I may be occupied upon our usual writing day. We have had a two days meeting at our church, and had all the ministers with us. Mr. Willie Morton preached for us twice, his brother twice, and Mr. Simmons Sabbath morning. Mr. M is a very promising young man-quite pleasant and agreeable. Mrs. Simmons spent several days with us, and left yesterday afternoon accompanied by her husband and Rev Mr. Williams for the Falls. They will return in a day or two and anticipate taking a trip on Lonah [?]. Mr. Williams was with us a day and night. A very youthful looking little gentleman of twenty one, is scarcely as large as cousin Charlie-quite good looking, and is said to be an excellent preacher. I have never heard one of his Sermons. Sh. Simmons is living in Dahlonega this year. I was thrown from a horse and pretty badly injured last Saturday. I had started to Church with Lattie behind me and Elleen in my lap, when the horse (Rock) took fright at my parasol which I attempted to raise and threw us all off just before we reached the orchard. Lat scratched her chin a little, but Elleen and myself didn't come off so well. Her forhead [sic] was greatly bruised and skinned, and I hurt my side very much. But I was very thankful to escape without being killed. Pa said he expected nothing else, when he saw Rock start off. Cousins Sallie and Becca have been [page 2] married each a year. Sallie is keeping house. I think she intends coming home on a visit this month. What is cousin Tom doing now? Has he quit drinking? I believe I told you that little Birdie was dead. Mattie is walking every where is she not? Ask Aunt Mat if she knows anything of Fannie Myers or Julie Force. Give my love to Sallie Pemberton and Ella Tomlinson. Isn't E. very pretty? She was when a little girl. We have (the children have ruined this pen) been compelled to change George's base, from the crib to the floor. He lies on his pallet and rolls about like a little kitten. He is the best baby I ever saw. I sent the belt last week. I could get no new one that color, so I had to give you the one I have been wearing. I am afraid it was hardly nice enough for you. Elleen is taking a nap. She came to me with an old letter in her hand to day saying "I pound (found) dis dear Mamie." Amelia looks pale and thin[;] I fear she is confined too closely at school. Lattie is pretty stout. June 11th Ma and baby have gone to aunt Lizzie A's to spend the day. I was over at Nann's yesterday evening. Cousin Ned is cultivating that part of the farm that Mr. Quinn had last year. Miss Mary Littlejohn was married last Sunday to Mr. Castleberry the widower. Won't we all miss her? Miss Eliza Sumter surely will go next. We had our first peas to day-would have had them much earlier had it not been for the chickens. I have seen no strawberries. I tell Mr. Brown I wish you were here to talk with him. He rattles away about as rapidly as you do. The relations are well. Pa is better. I am making some pretty double tatting now to [make] him an undergarment. Pa is having his wheat cut this week. I hope I shall get a letter from you this evening. [top margin] Walter and Harry are fine large boys. Their Fathers are both as proud as can be of them. I expect Mrs. Simms back this afternoon. Do write me a long letter soon and tell me every thing about yourself and about 20 George St. Much love to all. Elleen sends a sweet kiss. Your affectionate Sister L.
