Louisville Dec. 7th 1846

My Dear Wife,

We arrived here this morning about Sunrise, and expect to leave again for New Orleans, about 12. O'Clock -- We are picking up some passengers, the morning is rainy and disagreeable, which is something against in the way of business --

I hope your health will continue to improve, and by the time I return I hope to learn that you are going about House and enjoying yourself, as I return I shall be pleased to hear from you at Memphis, and on my arrival at this City. --

Remember me affectionately to all the family, and accept my best love for yourself and our little ones with lots of kisses. --

Your Affectionate Husband

C. Gardner Pearce
