My Dear Wife,
I went to town yesterday and found your letter waiting for me. I was so glad to get it and find out you arrived all safe. I had thought about you a good deal and wondered what you would do if George shouldn't meet you. It seems as though you have been gone an awful long time already, I now hear that you are thinking about staying 3 weeks. I am sure I don't know how I will stand it. I came to very near freezing the first two nights. Had to get the feather bed down and think now I shall be able to live

through it unless we have an unseen cold snap. I don't know if I shall come down and come home with you, unless something lucky happens. Some rich Uncle dies and leaves me a few dimes, or I can find some hidden treasure, I can't sell any Potatoes and so can't get any money. So you see, I am in a fix. I might perhaps borrow some but don't hardly think it best. I would like first rate to go, if I can manage if anyway I will come next week Saturday. I will write so you can get the letter next Thursday. Now my Dear, I have a little bit of news to tell you. Something quite unexpected has happened, that is I did not think it would happen so soon. I knew it was expect but nevertheless, I was surprised. I guess you will be too. Most everybody
