Dear Mary

Another day is over night is drawing nigh. their is a great deal to ocupy my time but when you do not like it one does not feel free and easy. you remember how I did strive to get in my melons seed early & get them in in good shape & longing wait to see them come up & watch them grow. well I do have than earnest feeling in anything since I was knocked down in the West. except you my darling & My iner man. so the work is tiresome would like to see some work of my own bringing in a comfortable livelyhood as you mite say. if you were here, I would try to enjoy this country & help you to enjoy it without having seven or eight more Ha Ha my dear I hope people are not making things and bussness affairs hard for you. you have it bad enough if you did not have any affairs at all. hope that your life will be easy smooth & peaceful if not very rich and that you will live to see your sweet darlings grow up to be men and women and that you and I will love each other richer & nobler as the time goes on.

This has been a terrable trying day for me first thing this morning was upon the carpet on two false charges which I proved to be false Captain dismissed them it was this big Police we have for sergent it took him down some but you see it does me no good for I have no friends. but they see I'm no fool to deal with & am not bothered very much one big fellow tried to knock me around but I showed him I was no weakling so these smell things seem to be what these fellows respect for this afternoon everybody was very steady. But I'm not very comfortable on top of this mornings
jar. I have had all old teeth out they are hurting very bad just now but when I get some new ones in I will be a lot better. he did not say they were cattle teeth but I noticed it took him along time to get two of them out of the jaw very big hard chunks. it will be a few days before I get teeth hope they do not forget & let me go on with these front ones. I hope to be with you again and try to do better for you. I wish you would write telling me if you are feeling disapointed with your maried life or not I am not like most men I know I am babeish well we'll try & live to be stronger & more manly & loving to you my great big little darling you have done mountains of lovelyness for me when all others were again'st me hope some day to be more deserving of my Mary
