Letter to Wife, from Civil War Union Soldier
Greenville, Tennessee 16 Jul 1865
Dear Wife, This morning affords me the opportunity of informing you I am well at this time. Hoping these few lines may find you and the friends all well. Dear Wife I received your kind letter three or 4 days ago and was glad to hear from you and children and friends and hear that all was well. You said Mother came to see me soon after I left you tell her I am much obliged to her for her visit. I would like to see her very much.
Jane you said you would save my peaches you do the best you can with them and make all the money you can and I will do the same. There is two hundred dollars due me when I am mustered out of service. We think we will be mustered out in a short time. Jane tell the little boys if that will work good I will buy them a knife and a book. You said Walkers land was for sale you said they asked 500 hundred dollars for their land. I would like to have their land. I can't pay five hundred dollars for it.
I would like to have Walkers land if I could pay for it you find out what you can buy it at and let me know the first chance you have and I will tell you what to do. I would like to come home and see you once more. I git worse and worse dissatisfied every day if I had nothing to do I would be obliged to runaway and come home. I would write to you to come here if you had time you will not have time if __ still your ___ I don't expect to get to come home any more until I am mustered out of the service. I don't know when that will be. I must come to a close.
Write soon - so nothing more - only your affectionate husband until death.
