My dear wife,
Your
affectionate letter dated Christmass day was rec’d yesterday the only line I
have had from you for two months – you can well conceive my pleasures on the
receipt of it. I am glad you all had a Merry
Christmas, & wish I could have made our of the [ho]. I fear son is not well from what you
write. I did not want his hair cut
simply that I might see what nature made him in form, shape, & appearance,
without artificial interference but if his health required it, of course all is
right. I recd a nice box of good things
to eat from Miss E for Christmass. It
was verry acceptable. Jud Hargroves,
& the other boys are at Point Lookout.
I have not heard from them lately.
I will write them in a few days.
They were well when I last heard from them. We are told that, we will be sent from here;
but when, or where we know not. We are
all getting along well, except Cumming.
He is quite sick & fear he will not live long. My own health is verry fine. Aunt Mary James of Baltimore has been verry
kind & has sent me pants, vest, shoes etc.
You must, on occasion, remember her.
Her address is 312 North Caroline St. Balt. Md. Give Sis Julie, Sis Mollie, & all my
love. I have a private room now & am
doing verry well. Ten of us are
occupying it. If I had books I could
studdy here to great advantage. Is
Newton at home. Let Ma know that I am
well, etc. Kiss my son for me. Give my love to all. Your devoted husband,
