Sunday Morning

 

I shall send by this mail a box of rosebuds. I do not know how they will reach you but they are very beautiful now. I have not much faith that they will reach you in good condition but hope for the best. I thought the experiment worth trying. Please accept them as a May-day present I hope they will reach you at that time. Mr Wood and I are sending a box to Marlboro for a May party there. Most of yours came from the garden attached to our office. The little one is for Eddie. I have not arranged them as they should be but only to get them into the box.

 

            This is a beautiful morning. You dont know how pleasant it is here when it is pleasant. I wish you could be with me to enjoy this beautiful day /

 

I have not formed out yet whether there is to be a funeral service for Mr Means here or not. The matter is in the hands of Chauplin Clark of the Mass 23^rd and he is just nobody He used to be acquainted with the family at home is why he has the direction of that matter here. I presume however there will be a service. today I sympathize with the family very much.

 

When I hear from you and know that you are as well as usual, I always feel thankful that I enlisted when I did. I would not part with my experience while here for a great deal I have learned some lessons I never could have learned at home. I have enjoyed my life here too very much better than I dared to hope I could. I only long to get home again that I may be with you and my friends again I am feeling perfectly well this morning I expected to have a sickness while here when I came and may yet, but so far I have enjoyed excelent health.

 

Very much love
