12 miles from where they were camped. I did hear some how that Mr Bissell was with them and would like very much to see him, but suppose I shant. Now as to myself, I work when I please & lie down when I want to. how long it will last I cant say. I wish I was out of it and at home for I am not going to be well here I feel satisfied yet I shall take as good care of myself as possible and hope for the best. I sent that mans letter back to you (for the address) with directions what to do, but if you dont get it, dont worry, let him write again. If you send him money, only send little at a time, and keep account of it. You may have Enough again soon, to pay some on the old mortgage, if not dont worry. Dont worry any how. Keep up your spirits at all hazards There is some way of getting along, if not the best I do as much wish I was with you, as you do and O may God keep both of us to meet again I believe He will too. No day passes without my shutting my eyes & imagining I see you all. I think of home generally, and every night till I go to sleep. Ill love home better than ever when I get back I know. Ah! my babies. how Id like to take a romp with you. How are you Ida; Anna; Hattie; & little Edie. Ill shake you yet Well I am called & must stop so good night my wife, with a kiss to you if you can get it. Your own A.R.B.
