Dear Asaph,
Your letter received
yesterday I am glad you are to make the change to Atlanta, so we can
be together, as you say about it there is no use to have wife and not
live with them.
We are all well.
We went to Macedonia Sunday,
There was a big
crowd there and had good meeting and lots good to eat. We stayed all
night at Mamas. Helen stayed with Grandma. They are coming tomorrow
(Wednesday) to go to the commencement. They are having a big time I
have not been any and don't guess

will go any as they
are going to have admission fee, and I am trying to live saving, for
I wants us to have a nice home of our own some time and give our children
a good education, We are getting along all right so far have up quils
to day want to get our work done before we move.
Well I am afraid
I will lose Amanda she has so many beau's to her string, and two of
them widowers at that, Milton Richey was up the other day, he stayed
all night with us Friday night. Amanda is talking of going down to Atlanta
tomorrow (it is the 30th)

I went to the Advance
office and told them a bout the paper and still I did not get one. I
then told them what you said you had paid for two papers, so they say
that Mr. Brewster said he just made a trade to send you the paper while
you stayed there, so if you paid for two I would write him and have
it strait.
Mr. Tharpe ask how
you are ever time I see him and several others.
Well we have a pretty
garden, will have beans in a few days. I have lots of chickens by the
time you come will have all the stewed chicken

like something fried by this time.
Berry said he was
keeping his promise to you, that is taking care of us, and he is lots
of help to us.

nearly every day I guess papa is coming now. she want you mighty bad.
I believe she misses you bad as I do. E.B. is up in my lap trying to
help me write. Good Bye with lots of love,
Ethel Perry.
