Philadelphia July 12, 1864 My good Wife Thinking perhaps you would feel anxious about me on account of the "Rebel Raid" in this vicinity I write you a few words. We reached here this morning too late to take the morning train for N.Y. City. I expect to leave for N.Y. City at 2 this P.M. We are well but very tired. I shall be at Lawrence Thursday night or Friday. If I can get through in N.Y. tomorrow I shall be at Lawrence Thursday. Remember me kindly to all. With much love I remain your affectionate husband N.
