User-Contributed Transcription Oct 29thI wish I had a few pecks of your apples here. We do not get any good ones here this Fall. Perhaps I shall get there before they are all gone. You tell me not to work too hard. Well I have for a few days past, but I was in good condition, and it has not hurt I sometimes think it does me good, once in a while to lose sleep, or get really tired. I presume by tomorrow I will feel just as well as ever. I am far more afraid for Mitchell than for myself. He is worth everything to me; the most valuable man all things considered that I know of. What could I have done the past week without him. Did I tell you Mr Bird had moved to Mt Vernon, Jefferson Co. I had forgotten to tell you of Miss Paine's arrival: Came via St Louis & Centralia and down on our Train on Thursday Morning, the morning before the accident. Two other ladies
