• Notes

  Salado P.O. June 15th 1874 Mrs. Mattie Tom[1] Dear Aunt I received your kind letter some time ago, and would have answered it before now, but we were all sick just after it came to hand. We all went to Salado to church the third Sunday in last month it was tolerably cool going up there as we started just after sun up we went to church Saturday morning there was eight joined the church five by letter and three by experience. We had a very pleasant trip coming back home. Grandma[2] come home with us. I expect to start to Evergreen next week with Grandma as she is going down there. We are needing rain very bad. It is so dry that some of our neighbors cotton has not come up yet. Some of the corn is dieing for want of rain. Pa has laid his corn by. It has begin to silk and tassal. Some say that has the best crop they have seen this year. Mr. Johnson has sold his interest in the crops to Pa and Mr. Layne. Pa went to Austin about two months ago to lay in a supply of goods and while he was there he saw Uncle Hamilton[3] and Cousin Olivia was there but he did not get to see her. I am sorry to say that we have quit school although we were not learning anything but mischief. Cousin John Darby[4] will commence halling Pals lumber this week to build his house. Mat[5] has been reading nearly all day long. She now the "Southern Generals their lives and Campaigns." Pa bought a book from Aunt Sarah[6] and she read it through in two days. The name of it was Seven and Nine Years among the Comanches and Apaches." She is learning how to milk and cook. She gets supper every night. She is knitting Pa a pair of socks. I have just finished a pair for him. There is a methodist minister preaching here for us this year. His name is Addison. I hope you will excuse this badly written letter. My hand is trembling so that I can hardly write. I cannot think of any interesting news so I will close. Aunt Mat I want you to have yours and Jenny's[7] picture taken and send them to me. We have not had ours taken yet. Tell Aunt Jennie that she must write to me. You must write soon believe me Dear Aunt as ever Your affectionate Niece Augusta M. Stockton Mrs. Mattie R. Tom Anagna(?) P.O. Victoria Texas Salado, Texas July 13, 1876 Mrs. Mattie Tom[1] Dear Aunt I recon you think that I am a long time about answering your letter but I never got it until about the last of June. It was missent to Goliad Texas. Aunt Mat it affords me so much pleasure to let you know that I am not blind and that they are better than they ever was before. Grandma[2] is with us now. Aunt Sophie and Uncle Gilbert Buchanon[3] have been here for several days but left for home this morning. We are expecting Uncle Auguston[4] and family in a few days. Papa is having a new house put up and I don't think we are getting it any too soon as there are only nine of us children.[5] The two youngest are boys. The oldest of the twos name is Simeon Charothers. The baby is just three months old and the fattest little thing you ever saw. It only weighed 13 lbs when it was born. His name is Douglas Haden. Mat is at Salado now and will not be at until Saturday. She and I went to school at home this spring. We went at Salado last year. Gimmie and Dee are large enough to plow. They have been plowing all this year. They are the best two boys to work that I ever saw. Gimmie is ten years old and Dee will be nine in November. Papa is hauling lumber. He has made a splendid corn crop this year and cotton looks very well. His wheat however did not turn out very well, only 6 bu per acre. But we will have plenty to do as his oats are very good. He bought a reaper this summer but most too late, as nearly everybody's grain was cut. It is the Champion. our grain is all threshed, and we are about through with our push(?). Aunt Mat Rob and Ead[6] are still with us. Rob sometimes talks of leaving but when the time comes he has no notions of leaving. Ead talks as much or more than she used too. we are milking 12 cows this year and you may know we are making plenty of butter if the cows are milked and that is always done for ? milk myself we have put away several lbs. Ma has raised a good many chickens this spring. Aunt Mat as it is getting late I will have to close. I wish I could see you all but I have no hopes of ever getting that from home if you possibly can come and see US. The family join me in love to you and all the family. Tell Aunt Jennie[7] I would like to see her. Good bye for the present and write soon to your affectionate Niece. Augusta Stockton
