Tilman M. Daniel Letters to his wife, Laura, during the Civil War |
Why is it that little (?) still suffers from that disease. What physician treats her case. If it seems possible that Armstrong or Bob can't cure her and you my dear, why is it that you don't "improve". I fear that you are imprudent in your diet or some exposure. Please try and live for me as it is my object in future to take care of myself. Especially in battle.
Posy is rejoicing over his letters and I am too full to say much more. I think that we will move from this Camp tomorrow. I hope we will go west and continue to travel until we reach Miss. Wesley is' begging 'me to buy a detail and (?) for home.
Love to all and kiss the little one. Please write soon and continue to write often. Love to both Ma Early and Pa Early. Kiss the dear little babe. Adieu.
Your devoted husband
T.M. Daniel
Tell Sister (Matilde?) not to marry until Peace is made which will be by the 4th March. I hope. Tell her to write to me all about it.
My light is out and must stop writing Adieu my dear Wife. Kiss Fannie and Thede. Tell them Papa will be home soon.
