Yet without\nmuch hope of seeing you, as I\nwell know how difficult it must\nbe for you to be absent, from your post\nThe Peaches will soon be gone, the\nintense warm weather together \nwith the frequent showers causes\nthem to ripen than they wou-\nld if we had clear dry weather\nand if you do not get off soon you\nwill miss getting any from our\nown trees,  And by the way we\nhave had some very nice ones\nSallie and the Babies came up\nLast Saturday \u0026amp; spent three days\nwith us, Charlie enjoyed gathering \nup the Peaches almost as much as\neating them.  Gus was getting\n------------------------------------------\nsome for his Mother one evening \nand after he left, Charlie came to\nme and said, “Gan Ma, Pappa [c___]\nyou t chees and take you Peacy”  I\nhave put it in his own lingo as near\nas possible;\n\nYesterday Mr. Bell was attacked\nwith fever, in good earnest, he had been\nfeeling badly for thre or four days, prev=\niously, I am giving him medcine and hope\nto have him up in a few days.  You\nseemed anxious for me to secure him\nI have already done so,  When he returned\nafter a weeks absence, he told me that\nhe would stay with me and attend to\neverything, until time to begin prepar-\ning for a crop and that I could pay him\njust when I felt able to do so,  We have\nnot made any definite arrangement yet\nas to how we will farm nor can we will\nI until I can see further what or how\nwe can arrange to live, and to get one\ngood plow horse, or mule, he thinks\nwith one to work with “Jake” he could\nget along quite well  We will see\nafter awhile\n\nThe McCue layout is gone at last, they\nleft last Sunday,  Mrs Elum went \nwith them, all in our wagon,  I never\nfelt more relieved that I did to see the\nstart as Ed had became too unbearable\nfor any one, he seemed to exult at the\nidea of not having any more cows to\nmilk, but I think he will not find it\nso fine to have neither milk or butter\nto eat, tho he may enjoy lou[n]ging arou\n=nd more than he would the milk \u0026amp; \nbutter - \n\nOur sweet potatoes look fine\nwe have had several messes already\nand I have a fine late Pea patch in\nthe garden which will keep the weeds\nand grass out - We have fall cabbage\nplanted \u0026amp; up but no Turnip ground\nprepared yet,  I will have that attended\nto as a soon as Bell gets well enough to\nwork, he seems attached to us, and takes\nas much interest in everything as if he\nwas a member of the family - William \nBurch wants to come back to me, he has\nbeen trying to get Bell interested in his\nbehalf.  he said to Bell that he missed\n------------------------------------------------\nit when he left here, and that he would\ndo anything that was to do on the place\nand that I could pay him in land, as\nhe wanted to get a small piece to improve\nwhen he was able - he has not said one\nword to me, but comes here every Sunday\nand hangs around as if he did not know\nwhat to do with himself, and I suppose\nhe rather dreads to speak to me upon\nthe subject as my prediction when\nhe left last fall has come true alrea=\ndy.  As I well knew it would, therefore\nwas not so much surprised last Sunday\nevening when Bell informed me of his\nwish to come back  The question with \nme is what could I do with him I do not\nknow whether Bell could keep him\nstraight, or whether he would undertake\nto do so, But as he does not want to leave\nTabb yet until near Christmas, there\nwill be time sufficient to see what\nis best to do, from experience I am satisfied\nthe fewer one can get along with the better\nfor several reasons\n\nThere many things I would say\nbut have not time\n\nAs ever your\nLoving Mother\nM
