Greensburg Dec 1st 1862
Dear Fannie
I feel verry anxous to heare
from you and know you feel equally as
anxious about me, theirefore I thought I
would drop you a line today. My thoughts
are constantly with you and home.
I went to Church yesterday and herd an
Aberlishernist preach, his Church is devid and I
think he is affread to say mutch
Theire is a great deal of diferance betwen
the stile of the Ladies heare and in Columbia
I like home stile best, they would say
heare it was the way I had been raised
and I dont feel sorry, that I was raised as
I was, I suppose things will look more natueral
when I become better acquainted.
Our Landlord is verry kind and attentive to
us dose all in his power to make us comfortable
I think I told you he was a Demercrat
In my last I told you Mr Stephens had
gone to New York we shall heare from him
in a few days and we may posible go with
him although I am verry well Sattisfied
heare, even the Abolishonist I have talk with
treat me respectfully, we tell them freely
why we are heare
