P.S. Yer cousin jeff asked permission to
read this letter, and he says Ihaint told you
who Ime gwine to be married tew, nor
when the weddin's 10 be, nor nothing
But taint to be wondered &! that forgot,
for I've got such numerous number g
things to think on now. My future com
panion is the baptist minister of this place
by the name Elder Snilles. The way
we come acquainted was quite singular.-
You see took to atendn his meetin be-
cause the presbyterian minister here is such
small potaters that twant eddiiyln for me
to SIT under his preachin, and understandin
that elder Sniffles was very gifted man
thought Ide go TO hear him. Well. liked
him wonderful well, he's powerful speak,
er and bis prayers is highly interestin. So
goes to hear him number o. times. He
obsarved me and was ivilently pleased with
me--but during all the time ] was creatin
such sensation in hsfeelinsI never knowd
but what he had a wife. How / did feel
when found out he was widdiwer. I
was dretfully frustrated, and kep myself as
scerce as possible. Bit he follerd me- up
accept of him. Its 50 moloncolly to be
alone in the world, and then ministers don't
grow on evry bush. The weddin is to
take place next week a WenSday evenin at
yer uncie's. Elder Yawpers, from Slab
town, is to reform the ceremony and preach
IN elder Snidleses place the next Sabbath
when we're gone.
The elder lives in gamble ruff yaller
house. I mean TO make him put wings tot
and make it look ruther more fashionable.
1t stans on descendin elevation that slants
down to the canawl on one side, and not
fur behind il is "a norantic grove. He haint
no family but a little bighty tightly gal that
they brought up. tell ye if ] don't make
her stan round when; get there Ime mis-
taken. We shall start for Wiggletown
Thursday, in the stagc-and git there, !
spose, Saturday evenin. Now Melissy
Smith remember you're to keep it a profound
secret. I don't want nobody in Wiggleton
to know word about till they see US come
walkin into meetn. If you anser this
afore we come, direct your letter TO the
reverend Mrs. Snilles. .r %.
