I suggested to Egbert to leave Wormwood Tea made and use, as a substitute for stronger drink. I hope he may do something for a reform, and that speedily -- I will write you again soon from some point below.

How much I think of you and our darling babes, I had scarcely time to kiss them yesterday when I left, I was in such a hurry. -- I can imagine how innocent they were, and how little they knew my feelings when I parted with them -- But this is for a time

My best respects to Mother & Cousin and the balance of the family, with my sincere love to you & our darling babes --

From Your Affectionate Husband C. G. Pearce image
