to me, but I am willing to forego the pleasure of being at home, if I can make my dear good wife & children happier & more comfortable. How glad I should be to see you all to night. It is only two weeks since I left home but it seems oh, so long, If you had plenty of help so that you could enjoy yourself & could take care of yourself & not be so worn out all the time I should feel easier about you. I should not feel so anxious as I now do to be at home. If I can get a situation in the army where I can be earning enough to make you & the children comfortable in town, I hope & think I shall not feel so anxious to be at home as I would. I love you dear one & our children & I cannot be happy unless I think you are, & knowing as I now do that you are not situation? so that you are happy it makes me feel as it I must go right straight home & try by words of love & acts of affection to make you happier. But? when I am at home knowing as I do then? that home does not satisfy you, I feel as if I must make an effort to improve it & make it more comfortable & the only way I can do it is by being away
