[margin] I cant see straight

 

My Dearest Frank,

            I have just been peruseing your kind & affectionate letter, and as I have nothing much to do to night I am going to write to my Frank. I have been very busy sewing to-day & feel somewhat weary but however weary or however sad I may be I always feel take real comfort in writing to you.

 

Dear Frank I am heartily / glad you are so comfortably situated now I wish that you were to find it so comfortable all the way, but I presume that you will for experience considerable hard fare doubtless you intend to be prepared for the worst.

 

            Mr Surles is in Weyauwega to-night. I was very much surprised to see him he said that he saw you in Oshkosh yesterday though not to speak with you. Then you saw Mrs Glendening at a party did you. do you not think her / pretty? she is just as good as she is pretty. I have been aquainted with her some years & ought to know her pretty well. you say you wished me there. I would like to have been there or any where that I could have seen you. I think that you could not have enjoyed my company more than I would have enjoyed yours.

 

            I would like very much indeed to go down to Oshkosh & see the Reg—& one particularly in the Reg— I should enjoy it much it is true it would be very hard to part again /

 

Amelia says I must not write a very long letter for she has company I expect that she wants me to help her entertain them you know I am a capital hand. Mr & Mrs Baldwin have gone to Oshkosh to-day of course you will see them. you will receive a box of something good please look on the back of the heart & you will see our names. then you must copy them on your own good heart, so that it will never be imposible to erase them. but my sheet is nearly filled & I must close. so good bye & write soon to rember I am ever                              yours                           Fannie

 

P.S. Amelia sends her respects & says that when you return from the war we will make you another cake
