Hyattsville Aug 22nd
Darling Jonney 1861
I thought I must write
a letter to you and not write to
mama all the Time I would like
very much To see and Kiss you
my Dear Boy once more and
when I am away from you
must mind mama and be a good
boy and do all that she askes
you to do remembering that
when papa comes home he
will Kiss you and bring you Some
candy from your loving Father
