My Dear Henery Blackwell

Some time have Elapsed Since the
receipt of your letter but many unforeseen Events my Dear
have from time to time prevented me righting "writing" you but
believe me be that as it may I am still your faithful Mary
and I must Say the time passes heavily on now I am so far from
you but hope buoys me up when I think in afiew "a few" months
I shall see you again and spend as happy moments with you
as before I left Dear you are in my thoughts night and daily
you know my Dear my Heart beats with fervent Love for you
and it does often occure to my thought that you are a
Coqueting but why should i think so because it is natural
to think that of one that would Captivate the heart of
woman I have a favour to ask that is fore you to get me
too yards of muslim delain the same pattern you selected for my dress
that I have with me and send it by the Staemer Champion in
Care of the Captain and you will oblige but stop I would Like
you to send me a new dress for you know you have better taste
in the selection of dresses and any Other present you wish
I have nothing very particular to say only a wish to here from you
soon the wether is bad here but pleasant I wish you where here
to Enjoy a little of the warm Climate I must Close no more
yours truly and believe me Sincerly yours till death
