  Dear Wife, 

  I write you a few lines. This leaves me only tolerable well. We are not half way but we did not start untill Tuesday. After I left home we have had good weather so far, but is raining now. I don't find it nering cold yet. Have not seen any snow yet. We got here  today at twelve o'clock and will leave at half-past twelve tonight. I have seen the best country I have  ever seen in my life.Rich land and good farms. The country is a solid farm  from the edge of Kansas to this place. I will write when I get to a stopping place more fully of the country. Anna has left Austin. She was gone to Mags She come as far as Waco with us and sayed she would go back in time for court but I am afraid she will not. I  did not want her to leave Austin untill court was over  but she was crazy about Willie she sayed. Hope all are well. Will write to the boys soon. As ever, Yours Felix
