My Dear Husband

I seat myself to night

to let you know that we are all pretty

well again since I wrote my last 

Ellie has been very sick  she took a

high fever with vomiting  this lasted

two days  lissie had the same  I bathed

them and used every means now 

they are well again except Ellie has

a hard cough  Emma and Martha

complain this evening but I hope in

a few days they will be all right

again  I am well myself except a

bad cold and very tired  I think

in a few days I shall be well again 

I have just heard this evening that

4 of your company are missing since

the battle of the last of March  I

cannot describe my feelings when I

heard this but my trust is in god

who is able to take care of you and

bring you safe back  I expect a letter

from you tommorow  I hope I may
