Dear Lazette I received your letter and should have
answered it before if I could found time but
we have been trying to clean some your father
Augustus
and Mary
every other day she finely told him that she would
have him her cosin would then come and tell her that
she should not have him she would then promis
her cosin that she would not get married but when
her beau would come she could not refuse him
when Saturday Night came I see her makeing
preparations for geting married I found that it
could not be stoped in any way so we got her
ready as fast as possible as the Priest
leave in the cars that Night she says she had
just time to get there and make her confession
and his that was the name of the
groom and get married before the cars
left for the West which took the Priest
