image New Orleans Sunday Evening January 23rd. 1842 image My Dear Wife, I fell quite happy this evening to know the time has so near arrived when I expect to head for the "Queen City," where I expect to find my dear Wife and babe enjoying good health, and ready to welcome my return ___ I think we will leave here on Wednesday the 27th ish? And if we should have a fair trip, arrive in Cincinnati about the 6 or 7th Feby, as I stated in my last letter from Vicksburg on my downward passage, which you probably rec'd by due course of Steam Boat. ___
