McFarland-Russell Letter, September 24, 1871 - Page 3

I did think of sending for a set of furniture but I will
wait a while and let you see what kind you had rather
have. I want you to suit your self about all such as that
you know you can suit your self better than I can, you
did not say whether you would need any thing or not if you
do and do not get it it is your own fault. tell Mag that I am
going to have Henry for my waiter and see what she will say to
that. you can tease her a while about that and then tell her
better I would not have her wait with any one she does not
like tell her if Tom comes up that he will stand up with her
and see how she will like that. well Kate believe I have told
you all the news that I can think of at present. please excuse
all errors and mistakes as I have been writing in a hurry I
spent the day with Uncle Henry & Aunt Sue and did not
get home as soon as I ought to have, so you must excuse
this short letter and I will try and do better next time. write
soon and tell me all the news and tell all of them folks if they
dont quit teasing you I will settle with them when I come
present my kindest regards to all the family write me soon

I remain yours forever
Robert. E. Russell
