[Letter from Ms. L. R. to Rush Rector, October 20, 1892]
Letter from Ms. L. R., to her nephew, Rush Rector discussing how the weather has been constant rain. Just rain and mud about the road. She doesn't like the way Rush is writing in his letters. It's understandable that he's getting a good education but changing the spelling of a person's name. And a certain sentence is odd to her.
