A Letter from Francis Samuel to Walker Kin, 1883 p. 1 |
|
Between Marjorie Kimble and myself, almost all Marjorie, this letter has been fairly completely translated. I believe it is from Francis S. Walker, and the signature on the bottom appears to be F. S. Walker to me. I don't know who it was written to, however. I have intentionally left in most of the misspellings. (December 1, 1883 was a Tuesday.)
December the 1st, 1883 As Chas. has not sent his letter yet I will drop a line or so. All well this morning. A nice morning. Now 8 o'clock. All over thin white clouds sun shining through them. We are going to work on corn and fod[d]er today. We have feed but very little roughness to our cattle yet think we have plenty to do us through. Samy (?) says in his letter that there are a good many Walkers in that country perhaps some of them might be a kin to us. Might be some of my father's bro Charles children or grand children. He moved in an early day from Knox County Tennessee to West Tennessee and I have never heard anything of him or his family what became of them. Father's folks lived a short way above Knoxville on each side of the Holsten River and father came from Ierland. Three children born [cont.]>> |
