Wednesday night
Well my darling Nina, I reckon you
begin to think it is time I was writing to
you, and answering your last most wel-
come letter so now I will begin. I have
just gotten a letter tonight from darling
Mother telling me that she was sick at
Mrs. [Puleski's?] and I am so delighted to hear
that she is so comfortable, and quite envious of
you when I think of you as with her, while I
am so far off. What pleasant walks you will
have together in the evenings. I am truly de-
lighted that you have her so near you. I am so
glad too you are getting along so much better
with [?] & sincerely hope you may be able to man-
age her. I suppose you have seen my letter to
Mother giving a full account of all the wed-
ding frolic, so I will not repeat any part of
it except to tell you that I certainly lost my
heart with that brown eyed Bolling and
that I think Bartlett would make the
sweetest brother in the world. I have not
heard anything of them since they left but
Uncle Willie comforts me by telling me he
thinks he intends to come back, for he left
his carpet-sack at his house & he wants to know
if I don't want to keep it. I believe I ended
my letter to Mother last Friday, so I will

only continue my history from there. Fri-
day evening I walked over to old Mr.
[Hurts?] & staid all night with [Sue Hooper?]
who made herself so agreeable that I did
not get back until Saturday night. I found
Mr. Clay had come the evening before & was
still here. Mr. [Venning?] had been here the
night before & Mr. [Kuch?] that morning
but they had left. Sunday we went to church
in the neighborhood, to hear Dr. Hobson
murder one of Bishop Wilmer's sermons. In
the evening Dr. [Wearing?] & Mr. Venning came
to stay all the evening & say goodbye & the
next morning left the county. Now as to my
great friend Mr. Goodman I have not seen
him for a week tho' he does not live half a
mile from here, and at the time the Dr.
went to Richmond he had not been to see
me but once or twice, so begging Mrs. Stuart's
pardon I don't believe the Dr. ever said any such
thing. Belle got that up when she went down in the
cars with him & you. He has been to see me four or
five times since, but I have no idea of hurting
that good man's feeling or he of giving me
an opportunity. Since Sunday we have had
