- The appearances of speedy peace of course must have brought great rejoicing in your town, I am exceeding glad to see signs
of a illegible tion of a unnatural a war. I may possibly remain here one year longer we are very busy manufacturing rakes
just now. I like the machinery of course but cannot give up my studies I was much delighted a few weeks ago by a long letter
from Prof' Butlers little boy containing a lithograph of our Wis' university I could see my room windows and of course many
other objects which caused a flood of memories in illegible with my very being to take fire all at once. I often think of
the evenings we spent all together in the little parlor with your cousins singing merrily all the time - how strangely all
things change But I must close - be sure I shall long for your answer Your illegible will not be forgotten I hope I remain
