Dear beloved wife
I am seated to drop you a few lines to let you know that I am still alive but not quite as well as I have been on account of the diarrhea. I have only a few minutes to write, so I must do it quick.
I have a great deal of news to write to you but have not time now but will before the next mail goes out. Maybe I will be too late for this mail. We have just been on a raid and had a good time, did not have to fight any.
Well will have to tell you that I just received your letter of the 15th and was glad to hear from you but am sorry that your mother makes you so much trouble but I have wrote to you in a previous letter what to do.
Well I must come to a close in hope this may find you all well. No more this time.
George Kryder
To Elisabeth
