May 16..65

 

this is a beautiful morning O i wish i knew that you ware all well. i am well except my eyes are geting sore i will have to stop night watching for i can not sleep much in the day time. i do not know what to write that will be interesting

 

Give me a life with with my lady love

In a cot by the bubling brook

Or in some beautiful shady grove

Away in some silvery nook /

 

A home is pleasent any whare

If soles unite in love

And join in harmony to share

The blessings from above

 

O may it be my happy lot

Some comfort yet to see

And in some prety little cot

Spend my life with thee

 

O do not laughf at lines like these

They are written not in vain

And if they can not please

O may they give no pain

 

well i will if i live be at home soon yours forever      J.G.S.
