Grand Rapids.
July 13th 1865.
My Own Dear Gardie.
Loved Husband.
I am
thinking of my boy this evening and
wonder if he is thinking of his little
wify and would give anything to
see her to night. would I not be happy
if he could take me in his arms and
love me. ‘twould be all heart could wish
for. Nearly two years we have been married.
how many happy hours we have passed
together in that time. and how often I
think of the many times I have been
cross and hatefull to my dear good Hus-
band. O Gardie I can never forgive
myself.
Cinda is here yet. she intends to go home
next week and is very anxious that I
should go with her and make Miss Kegen
another visit, but I hardly think I
shall.
I saw Jim Jones up to Mr Stowells
to day. he got home last night.
Annies large picture of Captain
Lothian which she was expecting
last spring came a few days ago. it
is a very nice picture but is not what
I thought it was going to be.
Love and much kisses.
Love your Wify
Mary.
