are probably absent from the city is the reason that I have not recd a letter from you, should I receive one from you before leaving here, I will write you again from this place or Memphis.

My health is pretty good. I have fully shaken off the chills, and trust that I shall not have a relapse again soon. I hope this may soon reach you, and find you all in good health. I will remit you again on my next trip, should you stand in need of funds in the mean time, you can borrow from Mother. I hope you will make preparation and go to the Country, if you think the children require it. My last remittance to you, I think was by the "North America" I hope you recd it in due time.

Should you or the children be seriously ill, you will please inform me by letter to this place, and I will endeavor to come home.

Remember my best compliments to Mother & Cousin, and accept my best love for yourself and our darlings.

From your Sincere and Affectionate Husband

C. G. Pearce
