(Vertically, at head of page:-) Kiss Kiss Kiss Kiss Your own true wife C.V. Weaver. The show men are preparing for the show tomorrow in front of our house. The Sabbath! Just think & when our counrty needs men so badly. Bloomfield May 22/64 Sabbath Morning My own dear Husband; The church bells are ringing, the sun shining brightly, & all nature seems rejoicing. but my poor anxious heart throbs wildly for all that. O Weaver where & how are you this bright morning. How can I endure this suspense any longer. My brave husband, if you were not doing your duty, & if in my soul I did not approve of your course how could I live. I would not want to. But it is a sweet comfort to know that you are right, Bless you, & cannot I trust you in the hands of our Heavenly father knowing that the path of duty is the only one of safety? I believe you are safe & will soon be at home but yet I dont know it. O if I ever get hold of you I will not let you get out
