Centreville Monday 
Dearest Callie,
I learn that Mr Garrote will dispatch a message to Marion for some papers [illegible text] I will not make you sad by telling you how badly I felt last night without your tender embrace -- I [unclear text: never] missed you half so much nor desired to be with you --

A white [unclear text: killing] frost this morning the [illegible text] here at 4 O'clock & have a good room at Mrs Mayberry's -- no fish & no probability of any [unclear text: aint] that bad? [illegible text] very plain, how I long for our ham & sausages -- You are the best cook in the world -- the best wife, the prettiest & smartest woman In haste


Your Porter
