My Dear Wife

i intrusted $25.00 with my Captain to put into Adams express and i wrote to you telling you to go to the express office for it  but the captain instead of doing me this small favor managed to get Drunk and forgot all about the money  so i will send it to you in this envelope

No more at present

My Love to you
 i am as Ever
Your AH
William Lancaster
