Since writing my last letter l came
very nea perishing in a rain and wind
storm. Thursday morning had the ap-
pearance of being a fair day, and l
went to McMinnville, the distance of
about one mile, to see some children l
have living there. About 70 o'clock it
commenced to rain. l waited until
about three O'Clock and the clouds
scattered and l thought it would not
rain until l reached home. l did not
get quite half way until it commenced
again. / came cross a field as it was
much nearer than to go around the
pike. In a short time it commenced
to blow, and the land across the field
being billy, the wind had a fair
chance. The rain beat in my face
nearly like hail, and oh how it did
blow l could hardly keep my breath,
but struggled on and when l reached
home | was so weak | could hardly OPP
en- the door. l do not ever want to be
in such a storm again. My companion
was not we'll and that was what in
duced me to stray out IN the rain.
