out of our shop, we only had five men, so

the coachmakers done very well, 2 out of 5, beside

one that went from another shop who has since

been brought back dead. If I had had no

family I should have been fool enough to have

went a long with them, but dont let me put 

it in your head [?] to volunteer it is not

the best thing a young man can do.  It has just

struck ten o'clock, its cold, and the wind blows

hard, my wife is sick so you see I have

plenty of excuses for this half writen letter

if not I will give you a better one than all, the

baby has been [squalling?] part of the time like

the very deuce.

 

               So Fare The Well

                    Mary sends her love to you

                        Your Brother
