Thursday

My own Dear Nelly,

Your letter didn’t arrive yesterday but guess it will come in today.
Sleepy!! Don’t talk about how sleepy. I did get [Carriey?] home & it was real much late too.

Had some rain yesterday & I think it will help the people as much as the crops. I know I feel better already.

I had some fun yesterday with the Old Globe (our mansion).
The colored man was over there Hoeing Corn. I took my sling shot & would shoot shot on top of it & he didn’t know what it was. I had him hoeing backwards part of the time as he was afraid to turn his back to the House. He said he thought something was in it.

I went over yesterday to make a close examination of it & found 2 chairs one table & a bench. We’ll be in luck won’t we with all that much furniture.
Did Guy hear anything more!! We must tell him to go easy that he may want to court some time & we will tell on him.

I wish you all could come up here this week but guess no use to look for you.
Sunday seems a long time away but we’ll make good use of it when it gets here won’t we?

Lovingly your own boy
Glass
