We have spent the day listenng to C[harles]
talk - has told many funny things
about the Yankees. Sis F[annie] came over
& spent the morning - Was very agreeable -
- Frank Brooke called but had no
letters from you- Oh: I am so deeply
disappointed -- I had fully calculated
on his bringing me a letter -- Tis ever thus -
I have a plan for going home,
but it makes me very unhappy to put a
greater distance between us & I know you
want me to stay here tho.- It is very hard
to decide - I am exceedingly anxious to
get home & it seems to me I ought to
go Sis Fannie will soon be back with
her children & they look for Jeannie I
think I have staid long enough - It is
not well for a woman to impose on
her husband's family & between us - I think
sis B would like a more quiet house -
Mother has always been as kind as possible
& I have not the least reason to think, but
that she & father tho should as leave if not
rather I should
the war is over I shall ever remember
Mother's kindness to F[annie] & myself
