I was very much pleased a few days ago to receive your prompt answer of April 12th to my letter & I will try and be as prompt in return.
Father has gone to church this morning as usual with him Sundays and I am left alone to write without interruption.
I recd a letter from my wife about the middle of last week she had arrived safely and was enjoying herself very well.

I do not want you to misunderstand my motives in writing to you of my Situation & feelings as I did in my last letter or else I shall have to be mor more guarded in my letters to you. I wrote so because you wanted me to write how I was situated, and give you my mind without reserve, and all that I want is your advice and Love. and I do not consider it cold lecture or dry advice. I wish you to write to me just as you feel & express yourself and advise as freely as you wish and will be satisfied.
I am inclined to take things about as they come
and consider all things for the
best although we may not see it sometimes
I have long since learned that contentment is the only real hapiness happiness .
I would like it very much if we could be together if only for a few days so that we might understand each other better and perhaps we can some of thes these days when we are a little differently situated.
I must close this for the present as I have several other letters to write today.
With Love I remain your Boy Friend B. H. Wilson.
