Dear Wife,
Since writing yesterday I received your letter and was glad to hear from you. I have not time to write this morning. I bought a pair of shoes yesterday and expressed them to you. They will come marked to L.L. Smith, Bedford, Indiana, and he can get them for you. They will be there pretty soon. I will close. Farewell. You need not write til I write you again.
Sam T. Smith
