Steamer "Cincinnati" Oct. 9/46
My Dear Wife, We are at this time a few miles above Vicksburg on our downward Passage, have had quite a pleasant time since I last wrote you from Memphis. -- We are well on board except Dutee he is again quite indisposed with the Chills and Fever. -- I hope this may soon reach you, and find you, and our family generally all in health, I often think of you and our little pets, and no doubt have the same feelings reciprocated to by you. -- To day we have been putting out a number of our Passengers along in the Bends at their respective homes. many of them are as might be expected hot headed Mississippians, amongst the New Orleans Passengers are Mrs. Burke formerly Miss unclear. She moves in state fully equal to her income, -- and withal is as bold as a Lion. -- I hope all things are going right at home.
Remember me Affectionately to all our family + please accept my best love with lots of kisses, for yourself + our little daughters. -- image
Your Affectionate Husband
