Fayette Friday – Eugene B. Scofield, 6 June 1886

Letter transcription:

Sexton, Rush County, Ind., June 6 1886

Dear Sister Lena:

Ettie wanted me to write to you Friday last but as I was very busy I failed to do so, and as I have been from home every since I had to put it off until now. I am on my way home from the Hannagan and am waiting for my train.

I write this expressly to urge you to come up and visit us as soon as you can arrange to do so. Ettie would like for you to come the last of this week and remain as long [as] you can. I am at home most of the time and can be with you.

Can you not spend several days with us before harvest?

Yesterday was quite rainy.

Love to all—Drop us a card that you will come. Write soon.

Lovingly E. B. Scofield
