  • “Uncle Billie.” Thursday I attended a Grand Army Pic Nic, took dinner and supper with aunt Betsey, and at 5 P.M. took the train for home and arrived safely here at 7 P.M., Friday, – having traveled nearly 1400 miles in the trip, twenty of which I rode on horseback, and three of which I “footed.” My exchanges were $40.98 and the Campmeeting Association paid me $45.00, and said they must sure- ly have me next year. But I must close. Your mother’s health is excellent. I do wish you could see her more. She is so jolly and cheerful. Belle is very healthy and rosey-cheeked. School opens on the 5th inst. Prospects very good. Belle is happy and gay, as a lark. How will the election go? The Rep-s say here, that Harrison is sure to win, but I hope not. Of course, he will carry Ill, but I shall vote for Fisk, “If the heavens fall,” We all send love, and want you and Laura to come and see us as soon as possible, for we are anxious to see our grand-child. Write soon, I will send you Parth- enor’s book with this. Sincerely Yours, I. L. Kephart
