May God in his mercy \"temper the wind to the shorn lamb\" and out of this great darkness of mind \u0026 body work out an everlasting \u0026 eternal [unclear text: weight] of glory for poor James' darling boy. Oh Callie today is the anniversary of my little angels last agony - for was it not most truly his last. And now when I think of him bright in the new Jerusalem - and constantly witness \u0026 feel the sorrows and trials of this poor world - I fall upon my knees at the only spot of this earthly tabernacle which now binds him here - and with an aching but a thankful heart I bless God that though this is all left to me it only awaits the [unclear text: summons] to be [unclear text: reused] in immortality \u0026 to be crowned with his blessed spirit which shall render \r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [3]  \r\n\r\nit incorruptible \u0026 clothe it again with light. I humbly then exclaim - \u0026 I trust resignedly oh Lord - \"it is well with me\" it is more than well with my blessed lamb. And then Callie ought I not to be grateful. I wish you could see my boy here - he is so fat - so smart - so pretty - Pa thinks him the prettiest - most sprightly young babe I have ever had - \u0026 like all of the others he is very good. Sue Wiley makes a great pet of Callie, who is her Sunday school scholar - (for she goes [unclear text: regularly]). She told Sue the other day that \"any way she could fix it she would be named after her Wiley.\" Sue asked her how. She replied C-A-l-ly ([unclear text: Wiley]) \"now dont [don't] you see it will come so any how.\" I thought it would have been the death of Sue. I took her to church with me. Miss Barnes turned \u0026 looked at her for several minutes \u0026 much to the amusement of those back of her said to me - \"I swear you've got the most interesting children I ever saw - this one beats the others.\" Now don't you think me vain - don't you justify my vanity. I know you are pleased to hear this. \r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [4]   \r\n\r\nAll are as usual at Pa's - neither Ma nor himself very well - tho' [though] somewhat better. I try hard to keep them cheerful \u0026 amused as they are more easily depressed than I ever saw them and they do not bear troubles with the fortitude they once did. One feeling alone seems to fill their breasts - the welfare of their children and nothing cheers them more than continued accounts of your continued health \u0026 prosperity. Don't let little things worry you but strive to enjoy all of your blessings and in loving \u0026 making all around us happy we will be blessed ourselves both here \u0026 hereafter. Give much love to brother Porter \u0026 to each member of the family who may be near you. All unite in this message with me. Tell Joe I intend writing him a long letter in a few days. Mr Cobb is in Milledgeville [unclear text: winding] up Uncle Millers business. It is still [unclear text: uncertain] when he will leave - in a few days [unclear text: however]. The town is now quite dull college having broken up. Miller is being examined this morning for [unclear text: admission] \r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [5]   \r\n\r\nWell Callie I have written you a prosy letter. Never mind - you must value it for the love which prompted it. I must tell Lizzie Craig was at church Sunday \u0026 sat in the gallery with the singers.

But my trip North has kept me busy, until the present moment. I have only been South two weeks, and one week of that time was passed in Athens. Seeing so many people there, \u0026 finding a sort of family assembly, I did little else than talk \u0026 listen. The week I've been in Sparta, I've been very busy getting things to rights. Today I have passed in letter writing. I did not see any of your famly while in Athens. Marion, Lucy and [unclear text: Mr] Cobb, called while I was out, \u0026 the day before I left. I was extremely sorry to have missed them, for their own sakes, \u0026 because I wanted to hear some recent news of you. I did hear however, \u0026 regretted exceedingly the cause of your detention at home, your Mother in law's illness. How painful it must be to you all- such a large family as you now make. As yet Cal, \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [2]  \r\n\r\nI have not moved to the country. The settlement Mr. Bird found on the place was not only [deleted text: so] very mean, but not centrally situated - consequently he will move the whole, \u0026 having cribs \u0026 negro houses stables \u0026 every thing else to build, we must be patient. Then we will put up a neat cottage, plain \u0026 unpretending, \u0026 settle down quietly, until we are able to do better.\r\nI had a delightful two months, at the North. If I had only had Edge, it would have been enchanting. The whole summer was so deliciously cool, \u0026 Uncle Leroy's health improved so rapidly, \u0026 our trip was so extended \u0026 varied, that I enjoyed it exceedingly. But I passed many a heartily homesick moment, \u0026 actually dreaded to see night come; so lonely did I feel. Sallie Elmore was my travelling companion from Charleston back to Charleston again; \u0026 she has improved greatly. She was so pleasant, so companionable- \u0026 her voice has improved, until she was actually a marvel to our Northern friends, \u0026 really I do think her the finest amateur [deleted text: performer] singer I ever heard. She asked very often after you. I had a peculiarly pleasant letter from her a few days ago. Emma [unclear text: Dawson] is in white, \u0026 I hear does not look \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [3]  \r\n\r\nso well, as in black. My good Uncle you know, refused to take any precautions, or to give up business, unless Sister or myself would go with him. The thing was vetoed at once by Edge, but after hearing the state of his health \u0026 understanding the imperative necessity of giving up business for awhile; It was agreed that I should go - I felt as if I were parting soul \u0026 body, when I left Edge \u0026 the children, but stood it bravely I think. Sally Elmore says she had the benefit of all my sorrows, for they were poured forth at night \u0026 she had to listen. Uncle Leroy loaded me with every thing rich \u0026 beautiful - quantities of dresses, embroidery, a superb velvet cloak \u0026 elegant hat. Nothing was left undone to render my time pleasant \u0026 Sallie \u0026 I passed some delightful days among his New York friends, \u0026 I am glad to find he has many, very sincerely attached to him, so that if he should be sick I will feel sure he is well cared for.\r\nWhen shall we meet dear Cal? I want to see you very much, and hope there will not be another year over us - before we do meet. What sort of a crop have you \u0026 Cousin Porter made? Edge has made a fine grain crop, but planted but little cotton - next year if nothing happens, he'll plant\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [4]   \r\n\r\nmore cotton \u0026 less corn, as we are supplied for two years. But you have many more wooly heads, as the students call them, \u0026 of course beat us. Edge \u0026 I start modestly I assure you. But we would rejoice most heartily to welcome you here. Can you not come \u0026 see me when you come to Georgia? Think of it Callie \u0026 try to do so. I never could write less than three letters a week, while I was away from Edge \u0026 my darlings, so that took up most of leisure moments. Otherwise dear Cal, you would have heard from me long 'ere [before] this. So pray write me soon again. Excuse what I know to be a remarkably stupid letter, but I am tired \u0026 yet want to write you. But you will write soon, won't you dear friend? I hope so. I hear often from Lucie Terrell. She was in France at the last accounts, \u0026 expecting to go to Switzerland, Italy, \u0026c. [et cetera] - \u0026 then to Constantinople \u0026 Greece. Gov [Governor] Crawford's family are travelling with them. I saw [unclear text: Lizzie] Dickson, for four days while I was gone \u0026 enjoyed it so much. [unclear text: Em] Stephens is invisible, except within doors. Sallie Crawford is to be married on Thursday, the 30th of this month, to Gus Gibson a nephew of [unclear text: Dr. [Doctor] ] Terrell's. She came to New York \u0026 staid [stayed] two weeks, while I was there. Her husband that is to be, is highly spoken of by some. [unclear text: Duck] told me much of him, \u0026 Corinne writes about him, in a droll manner.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [5]   \r\n\r\nFather and Mother send love to you always. Edge says he wants to see you \u0026 your \"gude man\" as much as I do. I think that impossible. Your father's house in Athens looks very prettily in its new coat, \u0026 [unclear text: Mrs.] Cobb's is a remarkably pretty place. Poor Mary Jones is still in bed and looks shockingly. She insisted on seeing me \u0026 she was very much agitated when we met. But I don't think it is possible she can weigh 50 pounds, \u0026 I fear she will never be well again. Her baby is 4 months old \u0026 she not up yet.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [6]   \r\n\r\nGive my love to Cousin Porter \u0026 dear Cal, accept for yourself double quantities of true love. I long to see you. Give\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [7]   \r\n\r\nmy regards to Joe \u0026 Will, and their wives also. Sister \u0026 Mother were both very much pleased with Will's wife.

[unclear text: Jimmie] who wrote you a few days [added text: since] has I doubt not communicated all of the news. In addition to my other sources of discomfort this week Pa \u0026 Mr. Cobb have been absent at Americus \u0026 their letters yesterday lead us to fear they may be absent a week or two longer owing to the lengthy speeches of some of their legal brethren.

A general gloom will be cast upon the exercises I fear - owing to the melancholy murder of Col. [Colonel] Craig - who [unclear text: you] have seen I suppose was shot by two of his own men deserters. Lizzy is greatly distressed I hear \u0026 Dr [Doctor] Church himself seems greatly cast down. He now has to support two widowed daughters \u0026 I expect feels almost [unclear text: inadequate] to do so. May he who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb gently lead them \u0026 those we love - who are suffering now so much in a path they know not \u0026 pour the oil of consolation into their wounded hearts.

Mary Cobb is expected next week - but I suppose will not be a belle at Commencement. Sal. Jackson seems so perfectly happy \u0026 contented at home she will not be here until September. Brother [unclear text: Howell] \u0026 his family are here \u0026 expect a great deal of company. Old Col [Colonel] Cobbs health continues to fail him very fast \u0026 I doubt whether his sojourn here will be much longer.

Phinizy is expected to to [to] die in a short time with the same disease which killed this child \u0026 poor Mrs Young - erysipelas. Mary Jones is still confined to her bed but her babe is much better. None of the Baxters have come yet but are constantly looked for. Mary's youngest child I heard was very ill - \u0026 her own health is wretched. I had a letter from Mr Cobb yesterday in which he writes me he thinks Mr Nightingale will probably purchas [purchase] Col [Colonel] [unclear text: Lamars] house here as a summer residence. \r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [4]  \r\n\r\nAthens continues to improve \u0026 there is quite a spirit of [unclear text: persisting] \u0026 building going on. Pa's house really looks beautifully - \u0026 is more admired than when new. Do you remember Miss Sarah Lamar who married Dr [Doctor] Reese. She has been quite deranged for sometime but is now better caused by neuralgia of her head. How prevalent this is now becoming. I sometimes think it is owing to the great degree of excitement and haste which now seems to characterize the age. Well dear Callie I believe I have retailed all of the \"on dits\" afloat \u0026 I will conclude with a little bulletin of family news - that is - home matters. All are well at Ma's \u0026 Mr. C. [Cobb] writes me the [unclear text: brimstone] water seems to have benefitted Pa. His [unclear text: health] however is not what it was when you saw him \u0026 I do hope he may be able to [unclear text: take] a [unclear text: jaunt] somewhere this summer as I know it would be of service to him. Jimmie is thin but well. He stays mostly with me \u0026 is very kind to me during Mr Cobbs absence - \u0026 has endeared himself very much to me. He \u0026 Eddy are noble boys \u0026 I should dislike very much to see either of them leave us. Eddy \u0026 Dick Taylor are reading law in the office \u0026 Pa has the prospect of quite a large class. As to my own little brood they are not well \u0026 still not sick. Sally \u0026 Callie are quite thin. Callie never sees the omnibus but she wishes to know \"why dont Aunty come\" \u0026 seems to desire it more than ever.

I rejoice over your contented happiness as a wife deary -- \u0026 yet, who ever married a Porter, or an Edgworth, that was not happy? The names have been familiar to me for many years, as those of celebrated authoresses. How much more familiar now - as my own Edge - \u0026 my cousin Porter?\r\n\r\nYour letter was so affectionate, so endearing - it told me so much \u0026 in such a pleasant way, that an impulse I could scarcely resist, prompted me to answer [unclear text: instantly.] Since then, I have been almost entirely at Granite Farm (our plantation) and as yet we are so poorly fixed that I had neither pen nor paper at my command. I have only been in town two or three days, \u0026 I write you at as early a date, as possible.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [2]    \r\n\r\nWe shall be very differently situated on our place, from what I imagine you will be. For at least a year, we are to put up with a shabby house - pine tables \u0026 split bottom chairs. Yet after awhile Mr. Bird hints strongly of fountains \u0026 an occasional piece of statuary. For this I must e'er [ever] \"bide my my time.\" To all plans we may make for the country, there arises in my mind, one drawback. That is the education of my little ones. The thought of sending them from under my own eye, no matter tho' [though] it be only four miles, is intolerable. \"Yet sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.\" Perhaps by the time they will need schooling, [deleted text: I] [added text: we] shall think things sufficiently \"en traine\" in the country, to move back to town. So Cal - write me minutely, every thing relating to yourself, or your new home. What shape is the house - \u0026 what kind of furniture? Every item, no matter how small, is valuable to me, concerning you \u0026 yours.\r\nSome of the young ladies here, [deleted text: who] have just been to Oxford on a visit - \u0026 they tell me\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [3]   \r\n\r\nthat Rosa Pringle, who with Lou, is living with her brother in Covington, is wearing herself out, in devotion to poor Sarah's child. About two weeks ago, she had a hemorrhage of the lungs. Her health is very frail. Now, for once, how provoking that you are married! I would like to tell you a wee bit of news, concerning an acquaintance of yours here. Mrs. Stephens I mean. But I must leave you to imagine it. [unclear text: Dr. [Doctor] ] \u0026 Mrs. [unclear text: Terrell] \u0026 Lucy, will sail tomorrow, from New York, for Europe- if nothing has occurred to prevent. Lucy gave me an elegant riding hat, \u0026 my children a handsome dress apiece. I believe you have heard of my treasure, my superb riding horse, \"Starlight.\" Such rides as I take! and so doubly enjoyed because of my fearlessness - \u0026 really good riding. Edge has been so anxious to cure me of all nervousness while on horseback, \u0026 I have been so anxious to be cured, that I feel secure now. No marriages here, since Mrs. Bell's - but our village has been draped in black. [unclear text: Fanny Johnstone] has lost her Mother, Mrs. Mansfield.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [4]   \r\n\r\n[unclear text: Dick Carew], the lame man you remember who lived across the street, was shot dead, not fifty yards from our house. Though he was a reckless creature \u0026 a nuisance to every one, yet it was shocking, to take place so near. There have been several deaths this last month, of heads of families in Sparta. I do not think however you would know any of the others. Aunt Julia, Fanny \u0026 Mrs. Connell, have all gone to visit [unclear text: Blandy], who I hear is living in charming style in York District So. Ca. [South Carolina]. Aunt J. sent much love to you - \u0026 says she is more anxious to see you than ever, for she wants to see the gentleman, who could win the long sought Miss Callie Lumpkin. Ada Seymour \u0026 Fanny Johnstone both send affectionate remembrances. Billy [illegible text] is at Tampa Bay, in feeble health. Sue Wiley is spending two or three months in New York. You should have seen with what interest, Edge heard your letter read! He declares it is a treat, \u0026 while, feet on [deleted text: the] [added text: a ] chair, he puffs his cigar, he wonders \"how long it will be before Cousin Callie will write again.\" So it is but fair, that Cousin Porter should like a little to listen to my poor epistle when my gudeman is so fond of hearing yours. My cordial regards to all the \"nouveaux maris\" [young marrieds] as also to your \"better \u0026 worser.\"\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [5]  \r\n\r\nI have spun out an unreasonably long letter, considering it is so devoid of interest - but I consoled myself with the thought that my bonne Callie will answer it. To that answer I always look forward eagerly. My roses have had a glorious spring blooming \u0026 look [unclear text: prettily] now. Who will look after your green house? \u0026 who take care of your flowers. Alas! But they have had their day.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [6]   \r\n\r\nMrs. Hunt often asks after you. So do many others here.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [7]   \r\n\r\nMy little ones are charming as usual \u0026 look sweeter \u0026 better, than I ever saw them. Write often darling - remember no friend loves you half so well as your own Sallie\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPage: [8]   \r\n\r\nI hope we shall certainly meet at home. When do you go?
