| − | <p>Dear Wife</p>
| |
| − | <p> Your very welcome letter of Jan</p>
| |
| − | <p>7th came to hand yesterday and was most</p>
| |
| − | <p>gladly received. I can assure you. I am very</p>
| |
| − | <p>glad to know that you are well and hope</p>
| |
| − | <p>that you may still be so when this reaches</p>
| |
| − | <p>you. I am better now than when I came</p>
| |
| − | <p>here. though I am not fit for duty yet.</p>
| |
| − | <p>I do not know when I shall be able to</p>
| |
| − | <p>get home. I cannot get a furlough. So</p>
| |
| − | <p>tis needless to try for one.</p>
| |
| − | <p> Do not sell the land by any means till</p>
| |
| − | <p>I come home. My time will be up on the</p>
| |
| − | <p>28th of February and I am in hopes that</p>
| |
| − | <p>I shall then get off for good.</p>
| |
| − | <p> do not sell or pawn the cow if you</p>
| |
| − | <p>can possibly do without it. You must</p>
| |
| − | <p>see Mr Wm Kent and get a Barrel of</p>
| |
| − | <p>flour from him on my account.</p>
| |
| − | <p> Remember my respects to Mr Childress.</p>
| |
| − | <p>tell him that I hope to be able to get up</p>
| |
| − | <p>there soon and get that jug of molasses.</p>
| |
| − | <p>My respects to Mr Casey also.</p>
| |
| − | <p> You need not trouble yourself to send</p>
| |
| − | <p>me the half soles. You can keep them til I come.</p>
