Saturday. Yesterday I received your letter, but you did not
say a word about coming to see your esposo. I do hope that ere this you
have received mine, saying you could come, and that you at once got an escort
and started. There is no time for hesitation if you have not started. There is
increasing probability that I may be elsewhere as the season advances. But
don't come unless you get a good escort. I am not certain that I can get
accommodations for you; but I don't think there will be any difficulty about
it, as I hope some kind neighbor would try to make us comfortable for the short
time that you may remain. I think that we might get in at Mr. Yerby's, which is
less than a mile from my headquarters.
