Pulaski County Va
June 13th 1847
Dear Sister when I saw you last I told you I would write to you when I would be glad for you to come. The time has all most expired. I wish if it is posable for you to come by the 16th of July. We are all toberalby well at present. I would say something about my wool (world) but for the situation of Elizabeth at present. I thought it best to let it a lone untill I saw how things turnout. Elizabeth sayes you must not fail to come if you are able. She sayes she has no boddy else to depend on. I am very anxious for you to be here when I am confined. You must not set a time when to go home as things of this kind are a little uncertain. I can make the arangement for you to get home. You will please write to me whether it will be in your power to come or not. Write to me how mother is. No more at present.

John Crockett
