My Dear Wife

Enclosed is a letter to the Sunday School, which you will please deliver to some one to read.¹ I have been interrupted so often that I fear very much it will not prove interesting.

I have a very bad cold & a constant tickling in my throat & as the room is getting cold, & it is growing late, I do not deem it prudent to write much. It has just struck ten.

To-morrow will be a busy day, so that I shall not have time to write before the next mail goes out. Give my love to all. Do not forget to remember me to a throne of Grace. May God bless you. I feel very anxious to hear from you. Good night.

Your Affect. Husband
J. F. Culver
