Letter from Ida Tinsley to Husband Richard

Letter

St. Joseph Museums

1: Taylorsville, Ind. Nov. 31st. My dear Richard, You will see from the heading of this I am at Spencer’s. He just now came in and said he was going to town in about five minutes, though I could not bear to let an opportunity slip in the first place, I’ll tell you why I’ll not be at home this week. Intended to have gone with Mr. Dickerson but Sunday night we all came by here from Clifty and I was taken quite unwell, so I could not go home. You remember I was sick when you came from the East. Don’t be alarmed,"
