Sabath Morn
Dear husband
as I am left
alone this
[ ? ] sabath day
I will spend part of the time
in writing to you in the
first place I am well at
present and hope those few
times will find you the same
and injoying your self better
at the presant than I do for
it is so lonesome that I do
not know what to do there
is nothing to amuse any one
here now I mean myself now
that you are gone I can not
enjoy myself any where without
you Holi sister I got two
letters last night from you
and you had better believe I
was a glad firl to get them
and so I hasten to answer
at your request but
[ ? ]
I write every week but it
must be that you do not get
them all but I will keep on
writing Holister Dany is here
now but he is agoing to start
back in 2 or 3 days I have had
some notion of coming to see
you but I have given it up
for Wren is back on a furlow
and he says he would advise
me not to go for he says that
you will not be at the Hospital
by the time I could get there
and so I will not come now
but if you think that I can
come write and tell me and
I will come when Elderhadly
comes back Holister I would
like to send you something
but I have not got any thing
to send unless I can go
to town before Dany
comes and if I can get to
town I will send you some
paper and envelops and some
stamps and then I want you
to write often to me whether
you write to anyone else or
not if they want to hear from
you they may send you the
utensils to write to them
on so do not
[ ? ] to write
often
[ ? ] I got your picture
and I have sent you mine
and I got the 5 dollars you sent
me in the letter I got last night
now Hall I think you used
some posshality in sending your
picture
[ ? ] got your picture
last night and it is a better
one than mine but I suspose
it is because she is so muct
better than I am and because
she has behaved so much
better then I have and she
had aught to have the best
picture Hall do you like her
better than you do me is
that the reason why she got
the best picture
Holister when
pary was burried they did
not open the coffin but
they took him up yesterday
and opened the coffin and
looked at him he was black
as any Nigro you ever saw so
I will have to close by saying
write as soon as you get this
and oblige me this is
from your affectionate Wife
Lucina M Wiser to her
much loved husband
A H Wiser write soon
