My Dear Wife,

I have only time to write a few lines, which in consequence of being busy all day has been defered until the last moment, say 10. O'Clock at night. I will write you from several points below in which I will state about the time I expect to return to this place. My Health remains good, and I fondly hope this may find you all participating the same inestimable blessing -- I feel much pleased that I have made you a short visit and hope soon to enjoy your society for a longer time and amuse myself with our interesting little darlings --

Remember me to all the family and please accept my best love for yourself & our dear children. --

Your Affectionate Husband

P. S. You will think this very short, but we are now about ready to make our departure.

Yours C. G. P.
