ALS in pencil, signed “Million kisses, T.A.E.,” two pages, 5 x 8, no date. Handwritten letter to his wife, affectionately addressed to "Darling Billy," in part: "Everything going along slowly but all right—today is very cold here there being a fog all morning this pm it has cleared a little & is somewhat warmer…My cold is about the same it doesn't trouble me however—Don't fail to send those cigars. I will try 417 times harder to think to bring those new stockings down with me Saturday. I have thought 40 times since Monday of you and children at the depot, you 3 are just the loveliest crowd of human mortals I ever saw and that Mommy I'm more in love with her every day. The mail is ready to close so I must stop." In fine condition.
