about it indeed on Mothers account but as regards himself she may soon see the day that he will wish he had listened to friendly advice. and I think it will teach him that he does not know it all yet, I think he has been entirely too fast, for one of his years and experience which in all probability has had a great bearing towards looseing him his place. He is talking of going to Cincinnati to see if he cannot get a Situation on Some other road. I hope he will be successful, I am looking for a letter from Mother soon as Nancy said she was going to write me one soon. I will quit for the present and fill up the balance of this sheet to the children. Your Affectionate husband A. F. Davis Misses Orrilla and Nancy Davis My dear little daughters, How I would like to be with you and your sweet little sister tonight. Oh how I would like to see her and romp with her and see how she looks. I expect she can crawl over the floor by this time and no doubt could pull my whiskers if she was close enoughf and I can tell you she would have a good hold for they are now over Seven inches long so you see she would have a good handful. I want you to have her learned to walk by the time I come home that is if I do not come too soon, I see plenty of little children evry day now and some of them are very pretty and then again a great many are little black wooley heads. I never see little girls playing around their homes but what it make me think of my little ones at home and then oh how I wish I was with them. but I hope this wicked war will soon be over and then I will come home and stay with all the time. I am so glad to hear that you are both so well and hearty. I want you to be good girls and write me letters oftener than you do for you dont know how glad it makes me feel to get a letter from you. Jo Muller and George Rinehard both say to tell you they have not forgotten you. I must quit for this time for it is bed time. Your affectionate father, A. F. Davis
