No 44 School-room Monday 2 OC' P.M. June 15th 1863 
Dear Husband, I just finished a letter to you yesterday but I can't write very much at a time, and Dr Hull has kindly offered to carry a letter for me and I want to send a good long one; so you will excuse me if I write a little every day, and if it should not be very connected.  You see I have got to work again, I have but eight pupils today so that I do not have to use my eyes very much, I think with care they will get well now; I am so sorry that I had to lose so much time (four weeks) for when you come home I want to have a vacation, I don't want to make too great calculations on your coming home, but I certainly do look for you sometime this summer; I fear that you wont get here before the 4th of July, I do so much wish you could; if you get the Register you will see the programe; Capt Hull brought me out this morning, he has bought a gentle horse for his mother $120.00/ and is about buying a buggy, don't you think he is very good to her; nothing makes me esteem a young man more highly than kindness to mother and sisters his leg is getting better fast, he does not use a crutch at all now I tell him I fear he is using it too soon; but he does not walk any except in the house and out to his buggy; he seems very anxious to get back to his company if there is any probability of your having anything to do.  Tuesday noon, again I have leisure to write; this is as yesterday was a very warm bright day, the sun is very hot, and from 10 til 3 oclock
