My Dearest Wife,
I was so sorry to find by your letter this morning that the sore breast required cutting, and in two places, still I am thankful for your sake that it is over and I think now there is every chance for it to heal rapidly, I shall be anxious to hear to-morrow morning how you feel to-day, and I do hope to find you doing nicely on my arrival which I will try and make 4 p.m.
Mr Ridgeway talks of going up in the morning and returning at 4.25 if so he will no doubt call. The enclosed came this morning from Miss Burridge and I send it on for you to read. There is not much for me to write about that I can think of so good-bye for a little while. Give our little boy a kiss, please.
God bless you my love
Ever your affect. Husband
Julius Sladden
