Dear wife
	    I now seat myself
to write a fiew lines to you
i am well at this time and
i hope when this reaches you
it will find you enjoying the
same good health i have been
to the city and sent some 
money to you by express and i
will send the reciept in this
letter. and i wish you would
get it from the office yourself
and not let any one have any
of it only the ones that it is
directed to on the band of paper
that is around each package and
have each one of then give 
you a reciept for their money
		That money that
is directed to john wagner belongs

to [Lane?] Shaw. and he wants
john. to take it and keep
it for him until he comes home
so that he can get it for he
is afraid of loosing it here
		I should not have
sent it hone yet but i was
afraid that i should get it
stolen from me if i kept it
here. with me. you can take it
and pay all of your debts and
keep as much as you can
until i come to detroit and
if you cone there we can use
it to a great deal better advantage
than any other place near there.
every package is marked the
amount that it contains and
who it belongs to.
	I think that we will
start north in a fiew days now
but it may be two months before
we get home. and we may get

home by the fourth of july
and i dont care how soon 
it is for i am getting homesick
now.
	I have written to
[Ozi Levy?] about that furniture
yesterday and i told him
thet i should expect him to
have it done by the time that
i got home. but if he does
get any of it done do not take
it of his hands until i get there
for i want to see it before i
take it away. i think he has
had plenty of time to make it
and make it good.
	We have not had any
rain here yet, but it thunders 
this afternoon and i hope it will 
rain. write just as soon as you
recieve this no more at present
but remain your faithful Husband
