My Dear Wife,

I wrote you yesterday but being engaged I did not put my letter on the Mail Boat, consequently I put it on the Com. Perry, I hope you will recieve it to day. -- I have not recd any letter from you to day, but hope you may be gaining strength, and as comfortable as you could reasonably expect, I very much miss the society of yourself and our little ones, and hope soon to enjoy our little family circle. --

Capt. Dustin still proposes the same that he has previously offered, I shall await the arrival of the "Cincinnati" and asertain what she has done on her present trip, if things prove gloomy, it is quite likely I may accept the proposition made, however I shall keep you advised of my movements daily. And hope in exchange to hear from you. -- Remember me affectionately to all the family and please accept my best love for yourself and our little ones. -- Your Affectionately Husband

"Cincinnati" not yet arrived,  C. Gardner Pearce
