9 How I wish I was with you & the children to night. I know I should be the recipient of many [wets] of love from you all, & then I should enjoy so much having a nice "talk over" with you as in "days lang syne". It would seem so nice to have your own sweet self le'l close to my side & to sip such kisses of love from you dear lips as I know are there waiting for me. I am anxious to have you with me again as I know we both look upon matters now in the same light & mean to make the best of our precuniary lot, contented & happy in it but at the same time always ready to take advantage & make the most of our opportunity to improve it. We both think that under the circumstances we are doing the best we possibly can. Let us then dear wife try to make each others burdens as light as possible. We love each other & God has blessed our union with three dear little boys
