Cincinnati, Peru and Chicago Rail Road Auditor's Office La Porte, Ind., June 19, 1863 My dear good Wife,

    I am very anxious to hear from you & our children. I have heard from you but once since I left home. I intended this morning to visit home to-morrow, for the purpose of spending a few days with you, dear wife, & our dear children. It has commenced raining to-day & I have given up the idea as I do not think it unclear (prudent?) to travel till unclear weather, as I had a slight hemorrhage last night, the first since I left home. I am getting along very well considering the unclear weather, but I do miss you & the boys, I love home, I love my good wife, & I love

(sideways writing in the margin:) I sent today 1 unclear flour, 2 unclear potatoes, 1 unclear + unclear
