Columbus Ind March 4th 60 My Dear Wife, This is Sunday evening I am at you r old home with your folk We have just got home from Newhouse where we have all been to hear Bro Richard preach He delivered news of Christ immortal I love to hear him I always feel after listening to him more the necessity of being a Christian than before He gives clearer confession than anyone I ever heard Ma and Pa Sam Delia Tillis and myself all went in the carriage and Gunner went horse back There was very few there Did not see any of the Dorisses By the way Jim Doriss has sold his farm and gone to town to live. We went to Josies grave while we was at Bro P Which place we took dinner. Billy Gomes and Lady was there also I saw Jno and Dick Gomes Dick went from here this morning with Mrs Buchannan to Merh...? I shall start from here in the morning at 9 I think I shall take yours and Mira’s colts to live with me when I leave back We can get more by taking them there than to leave them here. I have nothing special to write some of the family will fill this sheet. ... and Em are not here uncle Jo’s folks are all well I broke a few of Matt’s ribs and if I did not I tried. No more at present. Always yours RS Tinsley
