(1899)
Monday Feb 27th
Dear Toley,
I was glad to hear from you and the children and glad they were getting along all right. but I do want to get home. I think it is a lonesome place here. but Mother needs me yet: I suppose Ashley has told you about how things are. Mother does not sit up any and is very weak, is about as helpless as a baby in every way.
I shall be home as soon as I possably can.
Your.
A Carlisle

Everytime I come by to read the letters-I'm just amazed at the peek back in time-and left wondering what they would have thought about everone reading them today.
