My Darling Wife
While I am waiting for the drayman to come home, before I go to dinner, I will drop you a line that you may receive in the morning. I suppose you just saw Mrs Willie after I left before you completed your toilet and by this time I hope you will have tried the experiment of sitting up, it is so nice to think that my “little wife” is recovering her strength. I have just received a letter from Austen Gardner which I may perhaps answer this evening before Ridgeway returns, I hope we may have a nice little consignment to send up to C. Norton after his visit. To-morrow and the next day we shall be brewing and I hope it will turn out well.
Give our boy his father’s kiss please and with fondest love believe me ever
Your affect. Husband
