Chicago, November 8th, 1863
Dear Brother John,
I have delayed writing to you this time on account of not
having these likenesses to send you. I
had to go and sit two different times for them.
I shall have to be brief with my writing this time.
I have been to work all day today. One of the joints on the engine gave out yesterday, consequently it had to be fixed today. It is Sunday . I bought a book the other day which you will
receive with this, but, John, I don’ t want you to think that I send you these
things because I think you are never coming here to Chicago to work with
me. If you say that you will come right
off, let me know on the receipt of this and if you want the money to come with
I can send it to you; whatever you want.
If you make up your mind to come, the sooner you let me know the better,
and I will make the arrangements for you to go to work right off.
From your affectionate brother,
Edwin
Frances unites with me in love to you all. We are all well, hoping that this will find
you all the same.
I’m
going to send some likenesses home this week.
