My Dear Husband,
I think you might
have written to me lately. I am
very weak and can just get
around with our Ione.
As day after day passes and no
letter comes, I take a good cry
to think that my own husband
wont write to me because I was sick and not able to
write to him more than once
a week. Well dear I’ll be home
with Mary and Uncle Blake and
I press that will be either Sunday
or Monday if I dare.
And then we may never have an
occassion to have to write to each
other again as the next time I
leave you it will be impossible
for me to write you. Oh dear I surest
not think of such a horrible thing.
Ione is crying so I must hurry
she is well and very fat & I think
the prettiest and smartest child
I have seen. Well goodbye dear.
Your own loving & faithful
Wife - Belle
Is my husband loving?
And faithful too?
Blake has come and
says we will start home
Saturday so you must have
dinner ready for us when we
get there. I shall be so glad
to see you once more. Be at
the house to meet me please.
