Clarksville Jan: 19th 1864
Tuesday afternoon
Your letter of the 15th has just

you are not coming home i would have
no words to express my disappointment, as
as it is I cannot believe it, I can’t help feeling
that in a day or two I shall see you – Your
letter was so unsatisfactory, and you did not
state that it would be impossible for you
to come. You spoke of taking me by surprise.

were coming.

every evening making her very un

I want to see you so much.
Your devoted
wife.
