La Porte Sunday A.M. Jan 24/64 My dear good Wife:

           It is a beautiful Sabbath morning here in the West. I wonder if the sun is shining as pleasantly where you are a thousand miles to the East. & I would give O so much if I knew just how you & the children are this quiet Sabbath morning.  I saw Mr. Paine last night & he said you got through to Toledo all right. & with this exception, I have not heard one word from you since you left LaPorte. I did think I should surely get a letter from you this morning but no letter has reached me. I thought you would get home so that you could send a letter as soon as Thursday & if so, it ought to have been here
