My darling Husband,
I was glad to get your two letters & hear of your safe arrival at Richmond & that Jack had been good.
The doctor came this morning & reported well of my progress, & I certainly feel a little stronger. He is going to send me a tonic, as I am troubled by a neuralgic headache for a couple of hours every morning. I have seen no one, but Miss Savory is to be allowed to have a cup of tea with me next Monday. The little girls enjoyed themselves there yesterday, May came & saw Baby bathed this morning. The little man gets on, we had a very pretty day with him on Tuesday, but since then he has been very good & seems contented with his two bottles, I have rather more milk, but am not yet allowed my stout. I hope you are enjoying your change & will find all well at Ash, my love to them. I can’t write any more, I shall be very glad to have you home again & also to hear from Polly about my dear boy. With fondest love & kisses
I remain
Your loving wife
Eugénie N Sladden
