Goodnight my darling. God bless you. Thursday night I have been very wearying my darling husband so much to hear from you again but I suppose there have been no opportunities and I shall not hear before tomorrow afternoon. How anxious I shall be for Papa to come home. The day will appear never to pass. I wonder if every wife looks forward with such anxiety to hear from her husband. I have often heard that when people have been married a few months their love decreases but I am sure dearest it has not be[en] so with us. Every day seems to bind us more closely together although your pussy is at times a bad girl and is disobedient. I don't think Judy will pay another visit. She is so ashamed of her conduct the last time she was here. Miss Hart and I called for Mrs Stephen today.
