Your Sunday letter came today. I was so glad to get it. I knew then that you hadn't started to be moved yet and each day you are there is one more to the good in it being possible for Mr. Riley's letter to reach you at Fort Meade. 
On Sunday's you write smaller and I suppose it is because you have more time and don't have to hurry even if you tell things more like you talk and use more words than in the shorter letters when you are crowded for time. Just the same way I do it too! I don't know how you could have told me in any better sentence the big thought you had in todays letter when you wrote "you have made life good for me in every way". It just gives me a thrill to think it seems that way so plainly to you that you can express such an idea to me. I'm happy you feel that way, and all the happier
