Sunday, May 3, 1868 - "The Peepers are a Singing"

[Brushland.  May, June, July]
It is quite cool to day. The folks are to Church. I was at home and doing the chores. 1868. Jim is at home to day. Joe Dysart preached to day in Brushland. I wrote a letter to Bill to day. He is in Cal. 

The Pe[e]pers are a Singing
All nature being gay.
I want to be married –
do you understand?
You’d give me a world,
only give me your hand!
One can’t go on always
with cons and with pros
Never come here again –
Or be frank and propose.
