My Dear Wife,
I arrived here this morning about Breakfast time, and feel my strength improving + hope it will continue. _
The "Cincinnati" came up last night 19th inst. + we will leave here tomorrow 21st inst. _ She had a good trip up + down, her gross receipts for the trip were about $5500. I feel quite lonely after leaving you and our darlings, and have often thought how interesting they appear whilst at play + Margaret Jane's little prattle. _ Enclosed I send you $50 -- which you can loan to Mother, should she want it, to help pay her taxes, or for other purposes. _ I will write you again from some point below,
Found all well on board the "Cincinnati" and were very glad to see me.
Your Affectionate Husband
C. G. Pearce
P. S. _ should Doct. Ray present his bill on or about first of January, for Dutee J. tuition at Woodward High School you will please pay it + oblige.
