Woodburn Macoupin Co Ills Oct 15th 1865 Dear Son The mail comes in and comes in and brings no letter to me why I don not know I am desirous of still being considered one of your correspondents I hope your other correspondents does not occupy all of your spare time through no doubt you have a good Share of duty to perform which occupys much of your time but yet you much try to write often for I will always be uneasy about you if letters do not come regularly or at least pretty often I do not know why it is that there is such irregularity in the mails
