Sunday Evening My own dear Wife [1864]

               Since writing you this P. M., I have taken a long walk with Myron & Prince. Tell Eddie & Winnie that Prince wants to see them very much. Prince always in the stretch goes up to & Examines all little boys about Eddie's size he meets in the stretch struck out. I have seen him start & run some distance to a little boy & go close up to him & look up into his face & then turn around & come back & act as if he was disappointed. Tell the boys that I threw sticks into the lake & Prince would jump into the Water & swim out after them & bring them back. I thought how pleased Eddie & Winnie would be to see him & how pleased Prince would be to see them. They keep him chained up now most of the time as I am fearful less some one will steal him. He is a fine looking dog. His Eye seems well & his hair is black & glossy. They tell me that he will not let any one come

[left-hand side and top] I don't know how the Mill Matters will come out. It looks squally?. There is one of the creditors that will not give any longer time or Else it would be all right. The others have agreed to do so if he will burn? the refuses. I shall not probably write to you this week as often as I did last as I feel to night my old nervous feelings Coming on again & Consequently I shall have to take more out door exercise. I hope I am not going to suffer as I did our Wile last winter from Nervousness. Take good Care of yourself as I know you will of the children. You are a dear good wife and give birth to dear good children. Good night
