I am keeping well and have come out so far all right Do not pine my dear wife I am more than glad I came & was here with him & so will you be when I am able to tell you all I need not tell you how our loss has affected me, but we must be thankful if two of our three comes out Trusting all is well at home With love and kisses for all Your loving Husband
