Dear Willy. Yours of the 6th is just
recd. Emma's marriage is on the 22d

come on the 20t.h you will be in time.
Of course come direct to our house.
The National Association opposed to
secret societies meets here on the
21st instant & continues 2 days. We can
not promise that you will not be
crowded during those days, but we
will make you all as comfortable
as we can. Am glad to hear

My strength is not yet restored
but I am convalessing daily.
Love to all the family.
God bless you all
I can not write more now.
