| Transcript | Oxley June 13th/70 [13th 1870?] [?] dear Cousin, Your long looked for letter came at last. I really began to think you were going to forget me, but I am now very glad to find I was mistaken. Yes I will excuse your [?] though I hope you will answer more promptly in future. I was glad to hear you enjoyed your visit at Uncle Paddies [Paddy's?]. I spent three weeks with my sister Rose lately, which I enjoyed very much. Charles Fox ([Roses?'] husband) has purchased the [Esie?] Post printing office in [Lexington?] and my brother James edits the paper so we see him more frequently now. He is doing well and is coming up to see us [ere?] long, and wishes to be kindly remembered to all his friends he often thinks about writing, but sadly one cannot depend much upon him in that respect for he is very [?] about writing to any person. I spent last week with sister Mary on the farm. She & family are all well. So you seen cousin #PAGE 2 Mary. I think her letter might be good when it comes. Dear Nancy, accept my most sincere thanks for your extreme kindness concerning my passage to Ireland. I cannot conveniently leave the store at present but when I get leave of absence from it, I would enjoy nothing better than a trip across the ocean. It would be a long journey but I know I would enjoy it very much. I am pretty well used to travelling. When I visit my brother which is three hundred miles from here I think nothing more about the distance of the journey than though it was much shorter. Therefore I think the length of the distance to [Ireland?] would not prevent me from going. So if you should hear of me going some little time from now do not be suprised. [Mama?] returns her love. |
