not be able to complete it for Tuesday mornings mail. So I thought I had rather stay home from church than to disappoint my dear husband. To-morrow will be a busy day you know. Have I done right? I suppose you attended church this forenoon, & this afternoon I guess you are having a nice ride after darling "Fanny". It is a delightful day so you will enjoy it very much indeed. I would enjoy to be with you, oh so much & I know Eddie would too. We do not have any nice rides here, & I miss them exceedingly. I wonder if you are having as delightful an Autumn at La Porte as we are here. It is as warm as summer here and the evenings too are beautiful--Foliage has just commenced changing colors, a sober green, for gayer colors & brighter; but decay will be slumped(?) upon each and every leaf, & a few more weeks & they will disappear forever. Oh I dread to think of cold cold winter.

[left-hand side] 10 o'clock Monday Eve I did not go to A? to-day as I expected. I have been washing though and am so tired I hardly know what to do with myself. I am ? and have written some to-day but I was so tired I laid down and rested instead of writing and this evening I laid down to get Eddie to sleep and fell asleep and it is later now? You will excuse me? So am imagining feeling my arms around you and my good-night kiss upon your lips. May God be with us through this night and protect us from all this night's ?? AJ
