My Dear Wife,
I expect a letter from Cousin Jane after the opening of the Post-Office, and by its contents hope to learn that you are gaining strength, my health as usual remains first rate, it will give me great satisfaction, and peace of mind, when I can again see you in good health, and I sincerely hope and trust such may be the case, as soon as the nature of your present illness will admit of. -- Up to the present time of writing we have not heard of the arrival of the "Cincinnat" at Portland, she will however be up this morning without fail. The prospect is now that we will not leave here before Friday, Cousin Jane will therefore write me as late as Thursday which will be in time. -- I would like much to see you and our little Trios a few minutes. But the Space between us ordains it otherwise. --
Remember me to each member of our family. and please accept my best love for yourself and our little ones
Your Affectionate Husband
C. Gardner Pearce
