 Description: Now that you are here before me, can we not have a few moments quiet "tete a tete," all by our selves? How does my darling Addie manage to pass away the weary monotonous hours which seem to lag merely to annoy us? In singing, sleighing, and having "good times" I suppose. I think I never saw time pass as wearily, as it does here. It is a joyous time when the mail comes in, and plenty of letters come for us. but then my day does not come more than once a week. & sometimes it passes over without my getting any. How glad I was, when Cap Asper gave me your letter yesterday, I can not tell you. You may imagine my surprise, and gratification on percieving that it contained your miniature. I can only thank you now, and hope that I may come home soon and repay you better. But it is not one quarter as pretty as the original, but it serves to assure me that you love me, and I ought to be very grateful.
