Dear Farther I am home again. and you do not know how strange my visit has made me feel all I can think of is Uncles dying. he died so happy and was so glad to think he was ready. farther you never heard any body talk about death as he did I was so glad to think I was there to take care of him and many pleasant hours I have past listening to him. farther if I only was as good as uncle you do not know how happy I should be. poor del has been vary sick since her farther death and when I left there she could just go round the house. all the rest of the famly but Aunty were well she could hardly stand upon her feet I did not see a great deel of new york while I was there so you see I shall have to go again some time if you live long you and me will go and see the wourld world if you / dont hurry and get over this horrid war I am afraid we will never have good times again what nice times we would will have if you and ernest come home again there will be four old maids to keep house for you and then we will have some fun.
