My beloved husband,
I will write you a few lines tonight as I am all alone. Dear Sam I cannot express my feelings tonight, but will a few word to comfort you till I come. Well Sam the lady I am working for is moving now. They came to move today and I am so glad. I am getting awful tired. I have been here since the 13 day of August and you know I am getting tired and I do want to see your poor pale cold face so bad. Sam soon as I am ready I am coming to see you. I can’t tell you what day I will for I don’t know, but I will try and let you know. But I come when you are not looking for me. Please tell me where to find you. Sam I am sure coming now. You may look for me now just any day, but I will let you know if I can. Sam will you please not cause me any trouble about Claudie. I am almost afraid to bring him. Well Sam I wish you would write and tell me if you have ever worked any since you have been gone. Oh yes, I want to write and tell you my dream. I dreamed last night I went to see you. I thought I slipped in on you and when you seen me you just hugged me and I could feel your cold face on mine. It really did seem as if it was so. Well dear I could write all night and not tell you half what I want you to know. Sam I am at the Lady’s house where I work tonight. I am keeping her baby while she has gone to show. I wish you was here with me tonight. I am almost afraid in this big house by myself. Well dear when I come up we will have a good old talk and I will tell you lots of news. Sam now I am going to let you stay with me at my home this winter if you will behave yourself and wants to stay with me. So I will tell you what I am going to do when I come up. Well I hope you are well and in good health. I am glad mother is well. I will bring her a present when I come. Write me a long letter Sam and tell me how you feel by this time. Was sorry to hear you was sick. Goodbye. Write soon. Much love to you.
Your loving wife,
Jennie
Be careful what you write to me
