My dear Wife

Stopped last evening on my way home at took tea at Caldwell's. Began with the Historical plays last night. Certainly I'll send tickets for Nannie. Sr. E & Sally rode out yesterday.

You would like to go down knowing that "all's well" - I hope you will be so well and enjoy the visit so much. We are all dying to see you all. Can't you bring Nannie home with you. You may stay with her tell her till 1 May if she will come along home with you.

Kiss her & Lucy & love to Mr. C., Charles & his father, Brodies & his'n, Jno & his'n, Saint & her'n.

Good bye - yr aft. husband
