My dear little Wife,

               Have you written

to me or not? for I have recd

no letters from you or any one

Since I have been here. It is

really too bad, I have just

come home from Trinity Church

where I have heard a splendid

sermon and fine singing I

shall not give you any description

of it because you will see

for yourself when you come

          I am awful homesick

without you, I could almost

sit down and cry because

you are not with me,

          Do you love me as ever

you cant tell how I yearn fo

you -
