Format Correspondence
User-Contributed Transcription Home. Apr 28th 1865My dear good husband You do not know how we all miss you. The children miss you more I presume during the day, but I miss you so much nights. The night you left, & Tuesday, & Wednesday night, I did not sleep more than two hours each night. I imagined I heard strange noises every little while, & I would not go to sleep, --- but last night it was a very dark rainy night, & I thought no one would want to be out for love or money, so I went to sleep & slept sound all night. I do not know the reason, but I never have felt so timid since we left La Porte. I hope these feelings will wear off, for it is perfect misery to feel so. I am feeling pretty well to-day ---
