LaPorte, Ind May 19 ~ 1864 My dear good wife Tonights mail brought me your good letter written the last sunday. It is kind in you to write me so often. I am very glad you like so well at Lawrence & that Eddie is so good a boy & he & Earnest get along so nicely. I wish I was with you for I not only want to see you & our children but I also want to see my sisters & Mr. Weaver. I hope I shall be able to arrange matters so that I can be with you in two or three weeks. It is very warm & dusty here now & to-day I have felt very unwell. I took cold on my way up here from the farm & it is so warm & there is so much dust in the air that I feel oh, so tired, I hope I shall get over it in a few days. I was very tired when I got up this morning Remember me kindly to all & tell them I should be very glad indeed to see them each and all
