My Dear Wife,

I arrived here this morning about Breakfast time, and feel my strength improving & hope it will continue. -

The "Cincinnati" came up last night 19th inst. & we will leave here tomorrow 21st inst. - She had a good trip up & down, her gross receipts for the trip were about $5500. I feel quite lonely after leaving you and our darlings, and have often thought how interesting they appear whilst at play & Margaret Jane's little prattle. - Enclosed I send you $50 -- which you can loan to Mother, should she want it, to help pay her taxes, or for other purposes. - I will write you again from some point below,

Found all well on board the "Cincinnati" and were very glad to see me.

Your Affectionate Husband C. G. Pearce image P. S. - should Doct. Ray present his bill on or about first of January, for Dutee J. tuition at Woodward High School you will please pay it +&oblige.
