| Transcript | Southfield July 17th 91 Dear Annie I had gone to bed when Caleb came from Birmingham but I called out to him to ask if he got anything from the office he said yes he had a Letter from Annie and I got up quicker than I can tell you as I could not think of sleeping and your letter unread and I was thankful that things were no worse than they are but in regard to your Sister you may be sure that that (sic) you can trust her she is not likely to make any grave mistake in regard to marriage for if she should marry I feel assured it will be to somebody worthy of her She will know what she is doing before she takes that step I have so much confidence in her judgement but at the same time I think she might be a little more confidential with you and I pray you not to worry but trust I suppose they had a very pleasant time at the Society at Mrs Millers but I could not go we were so busy we have three hired men and Anna has been sick so that it comes pretty hard on me I have [split?] up 68 q-s [quarts?] of fruit and have lots more to do before peaches come on and I am so thankful for strength to do it (as thy day is so shall thy strength be) but Annie I felt for you when you saw those four girls that you had laboured so hard to entertain act so very ungrateful but you are no better than your dear Saviour and you know he had only one out of ten to give him thanks so dont that sick Lady must have had quite a spell of it but as she is around again you will have to bear with her the best way you can fraternally yours A Jackson |
