on my return, should the Ohio rise to any extent you had better direct to Memphis as boats will be most likely to stop at that point. --
May this soon reach you and find you all in health, we are all well on board. -- I often think of you and our little darlings and soon hope to see you, and be able to gratify little "Maggy" as long as such must take place, I hope all may be well. --
My Dear Wife I hope you will be able to bear up under your present condition, with the expectation of seeing me home in time, I will write you from Memphis and probably from some point below. --
Remember me Affectionately to each member of our family and please accept my best love for yourself and our darlings, with lots of kisses. -- Your Sincere and Affectionate Husband
