My Dear Wife<\/p>\n

I was uptown with Mrs. Smith & did not take time to write, so I can but send a few lines this morning. Mrs. Smith is still very low. I did not deliver your message. She is not able to Speak. I have very little hope for her recovery.<\/p>\n

I ford. a petition yesterday for a Leave of Absence for Smith, & as [Captain] Hoskins will claim the next chance, I shall not make any effort for 5 or 6 weeks, but then I think I shall succeed. ((Lieutenant\u00a0\u00a0 Smith’s\u00a0\u00a0 10-day\u00a0\u00a0 leave\u00a0\u00a0 was\u00a0 approved\u00a0 by\u00a0\u00a0 headquarters,\u00a0\u00a0 Army\u00a0\u00a0 of\u00a0 the Cumberland, on Aug. 20, 1863. Regimental Papers, 129th Illinois, NA.)) It may be so far advanced by that time as to be safe for you & Frankie here.<\/p>\n

I have been Studying whether to send this letter to Carlisle but concluded not to. I expect to hear from you to-day and shall then know when to write to Carlisle.<\/p>\n

My health is very good. It was my intention to write a long letter last night, but I will try & write some this afternoon. With much love to all, I close, praying that God will bless & keep you.<\/p>\n

Your Affect. Husband
\nJ. F. Culver<\/p>\n

P.S. King’s family requested last night to be remembered to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
