Thursday Evening Feb 20th 1862
Mrs Edward Shephard
Your letter of the 17th
I have just received, and will try
to allay your sorrow, as I am
happy to say that your husband
is fast improving, and will
probably be well again in a
few days. I have visited him
several times since he has been
in the Hospital and always found
him in good spirits he has
every care that home could
[page 2]
afford, excepting the presence of
that are near and dear. I took
your letter to him yesterday. I shall
see him again to-morrow.
Little did we think on that beautiful
winter day that we both left
our homes, that so soon one would
reach the Hospital, but so it seems
however I feel thankful it is
no worse, as it may be the
means of improving
and making us better in the
in the future. I think
we is already improved in
a moral view. I hear from
Mr. Clark quite often I wish
they would write again, as I
wrote them the last letter.
Edward frequently speaks of
[page 3]
you all but particularly of you,
the child, and his Mother.
Answer soon.
I remain,
With respect
Will. H. Knapp
