My dear Mother,
Received your letter yesterday. Somehow I just felt that the next letter I got from home would have bad news in it and I just trembled when Martin handed me the letter. Of course it is good if you are getting what Dale owes you but I never was so distressed in my life to think that I will never see my dear old home again
