Wednesday night
My beloved Husband will be surprised to
hear that I am going up to Richmond in
the morning. You are aware that I have
wished to go for some time past and had
givin [...t?] my trip although I felt that
prudence required I should visit the
Dentist before very long. [Ranny?] Bryan
goes up in the morning and his escort promises
to be so pleasant that I have decided to
accompany him. I hope you will not
consider that I have taken the law in my
own hands in not consulting you before taking
so important a step. You must remember
I have had no time to do so, for the idea
did not suggest itself until this afternoon.
I shall not return until Monday and
cannot[underscored], therefore, keep my appointment
with Pat. Please see that she does not[underscored]
[2]
take the trouble to send for me.
Helen and I are just going out to spend
the evening with Matilda Southall and
are on the parish for a [?]. I have sent
for Ranny to escort us - and he has just
come, so good night, my ever dear
Husband.
May God bless us in our married life,
and [order?] all things for us as His wisdom
may direct. I trust, I would not have any[underscored]
thing[underscored] on other terms - To be guided by Him,
- cared for by Him - to have all my steps
marked out by Him, is I trust, my desire.
Your devoted Wife
Many thanks for your letter by Tome [?].
I had not intended putting York [Kin?] between
us when a fight was anticipated. Pat
spoke of a [...dle?] in her note. What became of it?
It is nearly two o'clock. Helen and I got back
from Matilda's place [and?] had a delightful
evening, (not a gentleman present), about eleven
[3]
and I have been packing since that time to
be absent five days. It would not take me longer
to get ready to stay a month, for I did not know
what I should need, and put up every thing.
I am tired beyond every thing, in truth I have
not been well for the last few days, and the
fatigues of the day are almost too much for
one. Won't you, please sir, ['please sir' underscored] taking this view
of the case, write a little note for me to Pat
and tell her not to send for me at all, though,
she must expect me next week. I hardly think
I shall get off before Wednesday, the day of
the wedding - but any movements are too uncertain
for her to trouble herself to send. No she must
send for me on Wednesday[underscored] morning[double underscored] in order
that I may rest a little before night. Tell her
I was obliged to go to Richmond and had a
good opportunity, and did not know when I should
have another. Helen will take care of Sadie
during my absence.
Good night. Tenderly your own wife
I sent you a letter this morning if you have not
received it inquire for it at the Nelson Hospital.
