Mrs L\r\nis a very nice pleasent little lady\r\nMrs Harrison looks wretchedly bad\r\nand seems sad \u0026amp; complains all the\r\ntime, says she never expects to re=\r\nturn to Texas alive, and has exac=\r\nted a promise of Mrs Lyne her rema=\r\nins back \u0026amp; bury her by the side\r\nof George, she was very anxious\r\nto see you, and bid me give you\r\nher best love and requested that \r\nyou would continue to write her\r\n--------------------------------------------\r\nshe looked over what few things\r\nshe left here taking some of them\r\nwith her, and never said one word\r\nabout any thing she felt either one\r\nway or the other - There is but little\r\nhere of any value.  I feel greatly reli=\r\neved that the visit is over with, I feel tired\r\nout as I had to be in the kitchen nearly\r\nall the time, and as scarce off as\r\nwe are for almost every thing it\r\nwas a thing to dread I assure you\r\nI hope I have gotten entirely rid of\r\nthat kind of amusment,  I feel\r\nlike I now had my freedom for\r\nthe rest of time - \r\n\t\t  \r\nWell at last we have\r\nhad a fine rain which was very\r\nmuch needed  But the freeze has\r\nkilled all the fruit, which I am=\r\nply regret, but everything is coming\r\nout again,  I rode out among the \r\ncattle some three weeks ago found\r\nall alive but Pink she died\r\n-----------------------------------------------\r\nafter having a young calf and\r\nof course it died.  This present \r\nweek I will put up another large\r\ncalf \u0026amp; with the two we now have\r\nup will give us milk to do our\r\nlittle family until some young\r\ncalves come in.  When Sam planted\r\ncorn he had to turn Piggy out\r\nand about a week or ten days after\r\nfound her with six little pigs\r\nhad more but the Buzzards had\r\neat them \u0026amp; had badly maimed\r\nsome of what they had left alive\r\nWe did not suspect she would\r\nhave them so soon or we would\r\nhave kept her up, she comes up\r\nwith her little brood to get corn\r\nand sometimes slop, on of the \r\npigs is a perfect beauty\r\n\t   \r\nLittle Charles has been\r\nWith us for over two weeks Sis\r\ncame up and took him home to=\r\nday a pretty well spoiled Boy\r\n----------------------------------------\r\nThe Flour you let Sam have is not\r\nfit to use \u0026amp; we intend to return it\r\nthe first time he goes up \u0026amp; by the way\r\nhe ought to go as we are out of su=\r\ngar, coffee \u0026amp; molasses.  If any oppor=\r\ntunity offers send us some down\r\nas Sam may not be able to go up for\r\nsome time - I want to see you\r\n“so bad”  come down when you\r\ncan -\r\n\t  \r\nAll well, with best\r\nwishes for you my dear Son\r\n\r\nAs ever you loving\r\nMother  Mary Jones.\r\n\r\nIf you have any good shoes for\r\nevery day wear send me a pair\r\nnot too heavy as warm weather\r\nwill soon be here select then\r\nwide in the bottoms and soft\r\nuppers"],"sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","@id":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/707957863/manifest/sequence/normal","rendering":[],"canvases":[{"@type":"sc:Canvas","@id":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/707957863/manifest/canvas/w0892b150","label":"uhlib_1970_003_do4675r906r_0001.tif","width":640,"height":480,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@type":"dctypes:Image","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/w0892b150%2Ffiles%2Fd7da2b37-2e9c-4b20-b725-d389e745e525/full/600,/0/default.jpg","height":480,"width":640,"format":null,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/w0892b150%2Ffiles%2Fd7da2b37-2e9c-4b20-b725-d389e745e525","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/707957863/manifest/canvas/w0892b150"}]},{"@type":"sc:Canvas","@id":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/707957863/manifest/canvas/1n79h4559","label":"uhlib_1970_003_do4675r906r_0002.tif","width":640,"height":480,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@type":"dctypes:Image","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/1n79h4559%2Ffiles%2F89ec9c15-717e-46d7-957b-d1cce57fcdac/full/600,/0/default.jpg","height":480,"width":640,"format":null,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/1n79h4559%2Ffiles%2F89ec9c15-717e-46d7-957b-d1cce57fcdac","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/707957863/manifest/canvas/1n79h4559"}]},{"@type":"sc:Canvas","@id":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/707957863/manifest/canvas/ks65hc36q","label":"uhlib_1970_003_do4675r906r_0003.tif","width":640,"height":480,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@type":"dctypes:Image","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/ks65hc36q%2Ffiles%2F2e075846-0041-4ab6-b033-79efeb92d592/full/600,/0/default.jpg","height":480,"width":640,"format":null,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/ks65hc36q%2Ffiles%2F2e075846-0041-4ab6-b033-79efeb92d592","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/707957863/manifest/canvas/ks65hc36q"}]},{"@type":"sc:Canvas","@id":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/707957863/manifest/canvas/x346d449q","label":"uhlib_1970_003_do4675r906r_0004.tif","width":640,"height":480,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@type":"dctypes:Image","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/x346d449q%2Ffiles%2F3dbc5a36-9ef7-41d2-8472-e36c58743123/full/600,/0/default.jpg","height":480,"width":640,"format":null,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://media.lib.uh.edu/images/x346d449q%2Ffiles%2F3dbc5a36-9ef7-41d2-8472-e36c58743123","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/707957863/manifest/canvas/x346d449q"}]}]}]}
