 Description: I am going to write you a good long letter to day. for I expect it will be the last one I shall write you while I remain in Claridon, (Charlie Charlie make Dora go away, she is emphasizing my "good letters"..) So you thought my letter of Aug, 18th short did you dear? I am sure I know not what I on the lengrh of it, but I guess this will be long enough to make up for past deficeincies. I am going to answer your dear letter of the 9th in every particular, so here goes. certainly I will forgive you for writing on such poor paper, but do not think that I care for the paper, no. no. if your's are only such dear kind letters are you only and always do write, they will be a precious treasure to me. even if writeen on poor paper remember I am thankful for even one word from you. come what way it may, (My hand trembles this morning for some reason. I guess it is because I have been walking.) I was very glad to learn that your health was so good. I sometimes won= der why it is that you retain such good health while others, who evidently enjoyed just as good health as you when they entered the service. have come home many of them with shattered constit= tions. others--to die, Yes darling, I have often very often wondered at this, and while thus wondering, evne my rebellious heart looks up with a sweet assurance and murmurs, "God is very good" May you still continue to recieve that blessing. for blessing it is I was pleased with the resume. you gave me. In reference to your diet. you have something new for breakfast every moring do you not? Coffee. meat. and crackers. also crackers meat and coffee, quite a variety. nevertheless I am fearful that i should soon become tired of it. Time must pass very wearily with you. would that I could pass spend a few hours with you daily. in useful and interesting conversation, But think you not love that. with me time also passes very wearily? The same weary waiting. watching with longing eyes for the time when peace shall be restored, and. Charlie can come home to--me. May God preserve thee darling. till that hope shall be realized.
